Students

 Hello! My name is Megan Janorschke and I’ll be learning from the outstanding team at Odyssey Family Practice for the next few months. I’m a Physician Assistant student in the MEDEX program through the University of Washington. I grew up in Soldotna and enjoy many of the Alaskan adventures like fishing and hiking. I love staying fit by lifting weights and rowing. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon!  

 I’m Megan and I am a PA student at the University of Washington in Seattle. I was born and raised in Soldotna and am excited to come back to my hometown and build on all the knowledge and skills I’ve gained throughout my training. I grew up doing all the fun things Alaskan kids do - hiking, camping, fishing, and flying with my dad. I look forward to meeting you all as I continue my clinical training at Odyssey!  

 Looking forward to meeting you, I’m Kara Hawker, a student working toward my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree at Seattle University. Before I decided to change careers, I worked in cardiology, performing cardiac ultrasound and electrophysiology studies. I am fascinated by the heart, and I hope you will let me listen to yours. Although I am not from Kenai, my parents have lived here for 15 years. I love to visit, and you may see me out fishing but probably not catching anything 

 Jake is a 2nd year Physician Assistant Student studying at the University of Washington MEDEX Physician Assistant program in Anchorage Alaska.
