In February 2025, the AAPA published a press release entitled: 'AAPA Releases Survey Showing Physician Support for Removing Barriers to PA Practice.'   According to AAPA President Jason Prevelige (DMSc, MBA, PA-C, DFAAPA), the survey proved that, “Physicians recognize the need for change. It's time to modernize these laws so healthcare teams can focus on what matters most, patient care.” But what did this survey REALLY show? Chandani Patel DeZure, MD, joins me to unpack the details.Links:https://www.aapa.org/news-central/2025/02/aapa-releases-survey-showing-physician-support-for-removing-barriers-to-pa-practice/https://www.aapa.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/AAPA_Morning-Consult-Survey.pdfJoin us!

In Episode 244 des IGEL-Podcasts geht es um das Arbeitgebermodell für Menschen mit Behinderungen in Berlin. Ein ausgehandelter Tarifvertrag zwischen Verdi und dem Arbeitgeberverband AAPA wird von der aktuellen Regierung nicht refinanziert, obwohl die vorherige Regierung dies zugesichert hatte. Die Folge: Menschen mit Behinderung verlieren die Wahlfreiheit zwischen Assistenzdienst und persönlicher Assistenz im Arbeitgeber Modell. Betroffene kämpfen gegen eine drohende Einkommensverschlechterung und den Bruch der UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention. Im Gespräch mit Sascha Lang erläutern Ivo Gabe (Verdi) und Dr. Martin Theben (Jurist) die Hintergründe und Konsequenzen. Es geht um politische Verantwortung, rechtliche Optionen und den anhaltenden Kampf für Selbstbestimmung. Jetzt reinhören!

Thanks for listening!

Raquelle, "Rocky" Akavan did something amazing, but it probably didn't feel all that big at the time. She craved a group of fellow PA moms to talk to, so she created a small Facebook group for PA moms. Little did she know it would eventually grow to 19,000 members only 8 years later and become one of the largest special interest groups of AAPA (the national PA organization). The group is like a professional home filled with friends I talk to and share advice, as well as tips and tricks for surviving motherhood, marriage, and my career. It's become a way of empowering and advocating for our profession by a shared vision and a group of moms who can get $hit done! I wanted to highlight Rocky and let her tell her story of how it all started and what she went through along the way. As she says, it takes a village (and gives credit to her amazing team of PA Moms who work 24/7 to keep the group going). Take home points: If there's something lacking in your and it's not already available, take the brave step and create it! Spend time figuring out your core values, and reassess them periodically, then use them to make any decision.    Set aside time with no phones or screens.  Everything else can wait.   Good leaders have to implement boundaries, which in turn, gives everyone on the team permission to set boundaries.   Burnout is multifactorial, for some it's all about their work, but relationships and health also contribute.  You are not alone.   If you start feeling overwhelmed or burned out, use this as a sign to step back and reevaluate; ask yourself what needs to shift?  You're never really stuck; even when it feels like it.  There are so many more choices.   Stay true to yourself by really spending time getting to know yourself and what's important to you.   YOLO: You only live once so ask yourself what would create a life with no regrets and use that as your guide.   Personal IG: Raquelle Akavan, DMSc, PA-C (@dr.rocky_pa) and FB: https://www.facebook.com/rocky.akavan/ PA Mom IG: https://www.instagram.com/pa_moms/ PA Moms® - Physician Associate Moms | Facebook PA Mom website: ⁠PA Moms – Physician Associate Moms⁠ Guess what, Y'all?

We discuss advocacy, making an impact, and how to get a seat at the table.  Jenn stresses the importance of removing barriers to PA practice because healthcare can't afford to keep these barriers. PAs are experts in their fields and need to share their knowledge, experience and expertise with policy makers and those in leadership making decisions. Every PA has a powerful voice, and Jenn outlines ways in which we can start taking action today.  We don't need to ask for permission to share our ideas or opinions. We need to think bigger than just our own clinic and our own hospital system. We need to be bold in sharing our expertise so that we can make positive changes in healthcare.  Press play to hear inspiration and a call to action so that we can keep moving the PA profession and the American healthcare system forward in a positive direction.  SPONSORS ADVANCED SCOPE www.advancedscopetalent.com ADVANCED PRACTICE PLANNING https://www.advancedpracticeplanning.com/ COACHING ⁠1-ON-1 NEGOTIATION CONSULT https://calendly.com/the-pa-is-in/negotiate⁠  ⁠FREE 30-MINUTE COACHING CONSULT⁠ ⁠https://calendly.com/the-pa-is-in/gen-call⁠   LINKS CONNECT WITH JENNIFER: AAPA Website: https://www.aapa.org/ Jennifer's email: jorozco@aapa.org EPISODE BLOG POST https://www.tracybingaman.com/blog ⁠TRACY ON INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/mrstracybingaman/⁠ ⁠TRACY ON LINKEDIN https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracybingaman/⁠ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thepaisin/support

NEWS FLASH: Wisconsin becomes the 3rd state to join the PA Licensure Compact. Other approved states include Utah and New Jersey. (December 2023) Press play to learn about the PA Licensure Compact, what it is, who is in support of it, and how many more states need to pass legislation in order to complete the compact. In 2019 the AAPA, the Federation of State Medical Boards, the NCCPA and the Council of State Governments began working on enacting the PA Licensure Compact.  The PA Licensure Compact makes it easier for PAs to practice in multiple states without having to obtain multiple state licenses. This has far-reaching implications when it comes to telemedicine practices and improving PA portability and patient access to care.

In this week's episode, host Karli Burridge speaks with fellow obesity specialist PA, Ledyi Ballesteros, about how Ledyi's own struggles with her weight led her to the field of obesity medicine, and how she has developed the obesity program at Gonzaba Medical Group, a multispecialty clinic in San Antonio TX, which serves a primarily low-income, elderly, Hispanic population. Ledyi explains how she developed the obesity program, and how she is able to help her patients using culturally sensitive, economic, patient and family-centered approaches. Ledyenska “Ledyi” Baez Ballesteros, MPAS, PA-C Ledyi—a bilingual provider treating patients who speak Spanish and English—began working in internal medicine and urgent care at Gonzaba Medical Group (GMG) in San Antonio, Texas in 2011. She founded the obesity medicine program at GMG in 2015 after gaining around 100 pounds after complications with her first pregnancy in 2014. Ledyi, who now has two kids, subsequently embarked on her own weight loss journey the following year, and her patients began to ask her about it. The resulting pilot program started with an estimated 60 patients. Today, she runs the obesity medicine program at GMG with nearly 700 patients, 75% of whom are Hispanic. Ledyi completed AAPA's Obesity Management in Primary Care Training & Certificate Program in 2018 and earned the Certificate of Advanced Education in Obesity Management for NPs and PAs from the Obesity Medicine Association in 2020. For the past 2 years, she has served as the the Secretary of PAs in Obesity Medicine, and she has been instrumental in helping PAOM become an official caucus of the AAPA. Ledyi has presented on the topic of obesity to members of AAPA, the Association of PAs and NPs, Bexar County Society of PAs, the Society of Army PAs, and the Texas Association of PAs.
