My greatest strength as it pertains to becoming a PA student and a graduate PA is my ability to pick up on information or medical procedures pretty quickly. Once I observe a Physician or a Physician Assistant performing a certain task or physical exam I can quickly learn how to perform it myself. I attribute this trait to my explicit attention to the small intricate details as it pertains to medicine. On the other hand, due to my natural emotional nature, my greatest weakness would be being too emotional with my patients especially if they have a terminal disease. I say this is my weakness because it can make me depressed and sad and that sometimes can affect other interactions I might have with my other patients.
