Creating a Professional Binder

I spent the weekend creating my “professional” binder and it feels so good to be organized. I got the idea from @lorae.the.pa when she shared how she was prepping for interviews and a job. When you graduate, the amount of forms and licenses and certifications and other miscellaneous information you might need quickly is a little overwhelming. So I’m showing you what I did (and you might want to save this post if you’re still in school or a pre-PA)!

I organized the dividers by:

🔘Job contract

🔘Cosigned charts

🔘Licenses/certifications/diplomas

🔘Vaccines/TB tests

🔘CME

🔘Application information (keep receipts so you can be reimbursed)

🔘EMT stuff (or anything from your prior healthcare job)

🔘Interview stuff (copy of most recent CV, references, etc.)

Customize it to what you need but these were the big categories for me! I made a few copies of the items in the binder and placed them in clear plastic protectors. It pays now to keep all of this information in one place and organized!
