Pa interview

PA is a mid-level health care professional that works in collaboration with a physician. Pas can take medical histories, conduct physical exams, Diagnose and treat illness, order and interpret test, assist in surgery and also prescribe prescriptions.

Wanting to find meaningful work that is full-filing.

In a typical clinic you may not be able to tell the difference between a PA and an NP. In order to become nurse practitioner you have to be a nurse first and you may have received your education through a nursing program. Physician Assistant received their education and are trained at a medical school. Also when they practice they must practice under the supervision of a physician.

Several..To practice as a PA, you must graduate from an accredited program and pass the national Pa certifying exam administered by the national commission on certification of physician assistants. 2. Pas must re-certify every 10 yrs by taking a test that evaluates generalist medical knowledge. 3. Pas must complete a total of 200 hrs of continuing education every 2 yrs. 4. Pas cannot prescribe controlled substances, general anesthetics, or radiographic contrast materials.

As long as it takes to master the material.

In a typical day I wake up around 6am to work, make breakfast and prepare lunch. Arrive at work at 8am to prepare examination rooms and paperwork. During a work day I call up patients and get their medical history for the PA or physician. Also Im responsible for applying Passive motion machines to post op patients thought the day. While I do that I'm responsible for instruction them about the proper use, risk and benefits of the machines and then prepare paperwork. I leave the clinic around 4 to get home and make dinner then I head to the gym after. Around 8pm I get home to make a snack watch a little tv, then before I sleep I review anatomy and physiology books, or endocrinology books which I like to read.

I expect there will be a couple of quizzes and an exam or two a week. I very good at preparing and takes quizzes or test so I'm prepare to handle as many as possible.

Yes I have a car, I have my grandparents and mom to help me through my years of study, I live in Bayville ny and yes its pretty close.

I plan to take students loans and I also have money saved.

I see there bit a bit of stress if a physician doesn't see eye to eye with the PA or changes his plan of care. I franlkly, I welcome others opinions and I am prepare for for such situations.

no. I recently graduated with a bachelors from touro, and now I am looking to finish with the same school I started with, with a masters as a physician assistant.

I have worked extremely hard to get good grades and also I've spent a lot time exposing my self to the healthcare field. Ive done volunteering hours/and work at a Internal Medicine/nephrology office (suffolk nephrology associates) (DR. Ralph barbato) , a oral surgery office (woodbury oral surgery-DR. shapiro), and an orthropedic office (DR. Dowd)

Yes, Ive spent many hours shadowing, volunteering, and working in the health care field. In addition I worked very hard to earn a BS degree with good grades.

I would like think my personality and experience. I truly a very ambitious person and will go far to reach my goals and I am also compassionate for others. As far as experience, I have worked very hard to keep my self around the medical field.

Pas can take medical histories, conduct physical exams, Diagnose and treat illness, order and interpret test, assist in surgery and also prescribe prescriptions and most importantly educate patients about their health.

the PA plays a critical role allowing more patients to be seen and filling in the niche between a nurse and a doctor. with the aging population and high demand for care providers PAs present a provider with a wide variety of skills that can see patients in areas that don't have any care providers and areas of high population.

I think it would be a great experience and would let me use my newly acquired skills in a practical manner which will help me retain that information and learn it more quickly.

Volunteering my time in a hospital in colombia, I was part of a team that helped in a motorcycle accident. I was able to mend one of the patients by stichting a cut in his hands and cleaning up his scrapes. I got to really feel how meaningful it is to work in healthcare and made me realize what I really wanted to become.

One of my worst stressful academic situation was trying to ace my organic chemistry class. At the beginning I struggled, and I was failing. During mid semester, I began to change tactics and consult the teacher more. I attended after class help sessions and began to ask questions. I also changed my ways of studying to fit the class. Thing really turned around and began to earn higher and higher grades until I was earning some of the higher grades in class. At the end my teacher told me how smart I was and how good things changed for me me. I passed the class even though i didn't earn an A but i knew i had done everything in my power at the time to reach that goal .

I stop, take a deep breath and I keep going to take care of the things that have to get done.

From friends in the past that have been in the program, I can say balancing time management. Learning to balance your schedule and time, wether for school, family or other things is a great way to reduce that stress. I have been always good with time management and I am prepare to adapt to the classes and work load.

The PA profession evolved in the 1960s when the U.S. was facing a serious shortage and maldistribution of physicians to address the nation's need for primary care services. - Medical corpsmen returning from Vietnam wanted civilian jobs to apply the skills they honed on the battlefield. - To help remedy this, Dr. Eugene A. Stead Jr., MD, of the Duke University Medical Center, put together the first class of PAs in 1965. He selected four Navy Hospital Corpsmen who had received considerable medical training during their military service. - Stead based the curriculum of the PA program on his knowledge of the fast-track training of doctors during World War II. - The medical community helped support the new profession, the AAPA raised as well as NCCPA to sent accreditation standards and certification. - Since then the profession has expanded exponentially and PAs began to close the service demand gap by making services more available, accessible, and affordable.

I like to be involved in sports such as wrestling and soccer. Aside of that I also , like to volunteer my time at an oral surgery clinic in woodbury ny. I like the people who work there and I like to help them out.

I dropped twice because I was young and dumb and did not know the consequences of doing so just because I didn't like the class. The third time I realize the consequences and realized my mistake. Since then I have grown to the muture and responsible person i am today.

NO. I don't need any accomandtions. I believe Im prepare to be successful in this program .

I m here because want to be a PA, so I am really excited to be here today and be hopefully one step closer to reaching my goal to become a PA

I know i will finish because Im a determined individual and I won't stop until I reach my goal of becoming a PA.

I believe my strengths as an applicant is my personality. Im a very determined person when i set a goal in mind and also my ability to adapt. These quatities I believe will help get through the pa program

Sometimes I put a lot on my plate however,...I have learned to step back, refocus , and make priorities

Yes I can. I have a set of written goals and I prioritize my time so as to accomplish them all in the order of their importance and in a timely manner

I prefer to work with others

I would talk to him in private to air out my concerns

I always been interested in this school that why I began studying here 5 years ago. I like manhattan campus the most bc its is spread out into 32 months rather than 24.

I have been working this last couple of years in an orthopedic clinic aside an MD and a PA, and Ive grown to like the field and I see my self working in one in the future.

I have learned how fulfilling is its to help other and how rewarding it is to be a healthcare professional

I see my self working in an orthopedic clinic

Yes. My uncle two years ago.

Doing well thank you . and you ?

A little bit. Train.

...

...

I will not give up on my dreams. I will go back to school take some classes, and keep applying to other schools.

I went to school at touro college in Bayshore and here in manhattan for 4 years and recently earned a Bachelors degree in biology. I currently work at triborough orthopedic in the bronx with doctor dowd. and Ive volunteer at several places such as woodbury oral surgury, hospital de calamar bolivar in colombia, suffolk nephrology associates. As far as skills, I know mechanics and I am good problem solver.

I'm sure because it was become my dream over these past years. These past years Ive worked aside Pas to know what the profession is like and I don't see my working in any other career than this one.

Because of my experience and passion to become one

I see there being an increase demand for Pas and NPS due to the shortage of MDs over the past years, demand of low cost healthcare, and increase population.

One of the laws I would like to be passed would be to allow permit Pas to provide and manage hospice care.

Time spent working, volunteering and shadowing helped realized being a physician assistant is what i wanted to do for the rest of my life.

1. Doctor shortages 2. Hospital errors and and infections-Hospital mistakes and infections are still one of the leading causes of preventable death 3. Anti-biotic resistant - its been called the ticking time bomb

Stealing controlled meds is a criminal offense - can't ignore situation. Tell her this, and that shes now putting me in a position of liability and that I'm not willing to be liable for her actions. Then tell her that if she doesn't bring this up to your supervisor then I will.
