CC/O 2027 Spotlight 🩺🧡

Meet Sarah Hood!

What is favorite way to decompress after a long day of class?
-A nap & quality time with my fiancé!

What is your favorite part about being in Memphis?
-Really good restaurants and interesting local shops!

Best advice for Pre-PAs??
-Don’t let the process scare you! The CASPA process can seem overwhelming when you hear about it but as long as you keep your information and requirements organized it’ll be okay! Interviewing can also seem really intimidating but it’s important to remember that you are also interviewing them about the investment you’re choosing to make in your future.

Class of 2026 Spotlight🩺🧡

Lauren McReynolds

Hometown: Franklin, Tennessee

Undergrad: The University of Tennessee, Knoxville; Kinesiology & Spanish

Why UTHSC?: I love anything UT (Go Vols!), but what really drew me to UTHSC was the small class size and supportive faculty. The program feels personal, hands-on, and genuinely invested in each student.

Why PA?: I love the lifelong learning orientation that being a PA provides and how it supports continued curiosity. The mix of collaboration and autonomy, as well as expanding access to care drew me towards this path.

Clinical Experience: MA at pediatric clinic and CNA at UT Medical Center nephrology floor

Favorite place in Memphis?: Graceland & Flight

Favorite thing to do post-exam?: Sleep, clean, and Babalau

Advice for Pre-PAs?: Figure out your “why” and let it guide you through the process!

Fun Fact: I have run the instagram this whole year (2025)! This is my last post ✌🏻
