I was able to gain the confidence to ask for a 20K raise as well as an additional week of PTO and I couldn’t be happier. You’ll get a return on your investment tenfoldTasnim Surgical PA
Is this you?
- Less than 5 years as a PA or approaching graduation in 6-9 months
- Constant fear of lawsuits, fatal mistakes, and burnout
- Dream of being a PA millionaire, but don't know how to start investing
- Long hours, countless patients, intense stress, minimal support, endless admin tasks
- Work per-diem, nights, weekends, and holiday shifts; sacrificing personal time and chronic exhaustion
- Overwhelmed by student loan debt with no clear repayment strategy
- Overworked and underpaid, but unsure how to negotiate for better terms
- Seeking better work conditions, but unsure how to articulate your expertise during interviews and contract negotiations
- Fear that colleagues and patients view you as inexperienced and lacking confidence
- Chose the PA profession for career growth, but feel behind in life
You’re trapped in a joyless practice with unrealistic new grad expectations - and minimal support staff or resources - solely to pay off your $150K+ student loan debt - and maybe treat yourself to a coffee if the bonus check is big enough.
The roadmap to loving your PA career is simple (but not easy):
-
1
Eliminate student debt in 5 years or less
-
2
Prioritize your mental health and family before work
-
3
Seek positions with valuable mentors + competitive compensation
-
4
Champion your own, unique career path
-
5
Overcome People Pleaser Provider tendencies
-
6
Build a 7-figure net worth
I was able to secure a $10,000 sign-on bonus, an additional 5 days of PTO, and have restrictive clauses removed from my contract. I would take her program 1000 times over again. Sam's course changed my perspective on job search and negotiation and how I set up my PA career.Sarah S. PA
I must say that HPA is 100% worth it for what you get in return. After joining and working with Sam I feel like I have an upperhand compared to any other applicant I'm going up against even if they are way more qualified than I am. I'm prepared to confidently walk into an interview, market myself, and advocate for a work life balance and a competitive salary with benefits that I didn't even know existed before this.Allison 2nd Year PA Student
I ended up getting the job I wanted with a $12,000 higher salary. I also got malpractice insurance paid for by my employer, which is huge. Having HPA motivating me to see my worth and what I can bring to the table, even as a new grad, really helped to portray myself well in my interview. I would definitely recommend HPA to all PAs, especially new grads.Taylor W. OB/Gyn PA

Hi, I’m Sami Ngo...
I’ll be your coach and guide through The Happy PA Academy.
I firmly believe that clinical medicine is the first chapter of your PA career; not the entity of it. That is why...
I’m on a mission to create a million PA millionaires.
I envision a world where PAs are pioneers, not just in clinics but as entrepreneurs, educators, and visionaries.
HPA results from PAs that took control of their careers...
It is one of the best investments you can make, I would do it a million times over. I personally feel like the financial investment I made in this course I will get back multiple times over based on what I’ve learned in the contract negotiation and job search modules alone!Katie 2nd Year PA Student
It’s exceptionally applicable to new graduate PAs as well as PA’s who’ve been practicing for a few years. There’s definitely some tips and tricks I wish I would’ve known before I started workingHeather Hospitalist PA
You are learning how to find jobs, how to look out for red flags and green flags when you’re doing those job interviews, how to negotiate your worth, how to read contracts, and just overall have a better work-life balance.Tram ER PA
In PA school, shadowing your preceptor or seeking consults from physicians on complex cases wasn't considered cheating—it was an essential part of your education.
Similarly, in the real world, modeling the strategies of PA millionaires isn't cheating; it's a blueprint to career satisfaction.

The Ugly Truth
Corporate Medicine is a ruthless happiness thief - eager to rob your love for medicine.
Corporate Medicine prioritizes profits above patients.
They demand you work long hours, manage a high patient volume with a skeleton crew, and still deliver 5-star service to your patients. These unrealistic expectations not only increases your risk for burnout, but also increases your risk for lawsuits.
As a PA, your strongest defense against Corporate Medicine is to transform yourself into a self-made PA millionaire.
You're being called into a society of other medical visionaries, where we strip off the shackles of student loan debt, burndown Corporate Medicine systems that lead to burnout, and pioneer the future of medical leadership.
