Podcasts about physician assistants

Thanks for listening!

Welcome to The PA Is In, the show created by PAs for PAs, where codependency with your Supervising Physician is a thing of the past, optimal team practice is the future and Physician Associate has taken the place of Physician Assistant as the professional title of choice. I'm Tracy Bingaman and I'm obsessed with redefining what success as a PA looks like AND what it feels like. Here you'll find the mindset shifts, systems and processes I used to escape healthcare burnout & integrate my work with my life. Work-life balance is a myth and an integrated life where you thrive professionally, not a balancing act, is the goal here. My mission is to help you to grow into a Unicorn PA who loves their job, has abundant energy, time to spare and work-optional financial freedom. The PA Is In.

RFK Jr. wants to mandate nutrition education in every U.S. medical school—or else schools risk losing federal funding. On the surface, it sounds like a smart move. But as a Physician Assistant and Registered Dietitian, I'm here to tell you: it's not that simple.In this special Nutrition Newsroom episode, I break down what RFK got right, what he missed, and why nutrition education alone won't fix our broken system. I also share why dietitians are essential to the solution—and how we can better support both doctors and patients.If you're a clinician, dietitian, or just frustrated with oversimplified “fixes,” this one's for you.I'd love to hear your thoughts.Check out my post on LinkedInAny Questions?

With the growing shortage of rheumatology specialists in the U.S., healthcare systems face increasing delays, clinician burnout, and inefficiencies. In this episode, we explore a promising solution: the integration of physician assistants/associates (PAs) into rheumatology practice.

He shares insights into the demographics, workload, satisfaction, and future potential of rheumatology PAs, highlighting their expanding role in addressing workforce gaps and enhancing patient care.

If your doctor is recommending that you get a mastectomy, you will likely have some choices about how the surgery is performed. Your breast cancer treatment, your body, your breast shape and your lifestyle affect not only your options, but also the pros and cons of your options. There's no one method that works best for everyone because each person is unique. Today we are going to be exploring one specific type of mastectomy – the nipple-sparing mastectomy. This is a skin-sparing mastectomy that leaves the nipple and areola intact and usually improves the overall look of the reconstructed breast. Joining us on the show today are two very special guests: Dr. Mara Piltin, a Breast and Melanoma Surgical Oncologist and Physician Assistant, Maddie Beiswanger, both from Mayo Clinic. They are going to tell us more about nipple-sparing mastectomy procedures, current research that is being conducted around the use of minimally invasive robotic surgery to assist in these procedures and the possible benefits that these innovations can provide. This episode of The Real Pink Podcast is brought to you by Intuitive Surgical. Intuitive is a global technology leader in minimally invasive care and the pioneer of robotic-assisted surgery. Intuitive has been advancing minimally invasive care since 1995 with the goal of helping physicians improve the lives of people around the world. You can learn more at www.Intuitive.com

We're dusting off a fan favorite this week—because some stories are just too ridiculous not to re-air.This episode takes you from graduation pride in Austin to jaw-dropping public policies in San Francisco, where vodka is now a taxpayer-funded coping mechanism for the homeless (yes, really). Oregon jumps into the mix with a name change that makes “physician assistant” sound more like a business partner. Meanwhile, Tim deep-dives into the satisfying horror of sinus irrigation and pink jail cells, and May teaches us that even your paint color might be screwing with your brain.It's absurd. It's hilarious. It's a wild ride through medicine, mockery, and the madness we've all come to expect—and somehow, still can't believe.If you missed it the first time, welcome to the show.

In this episode of Health Talks, we chat with Gorana Micevic, a Physician Assistant at Access Community Health Network in Chciago. Gorana shares her journey from training at SIU School of Medicine to serving both rural and urban communities through family and addiction medicine. She discusses leading a nationally recognized COVID-19 testing program in rural Illinois, completing Rush University's addiction medicine fellowship, and building a patient panel for opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment at federally qualified health centers (FQHCs).  Gorana offers encouragement for providers who may feel uncertain about treating OUD, and reminds us that education, empathy, and collaboration are key to making an impact.Throughout the episode, Gorana emphasizes the importance of education both for patients and providers. She reflects on how increasing clinician confidence around initiating OUD treatment could reduce barriers to care, and stresses the need for more training programs to include addiction medicine and integrated behavioral health: “I'm a strong believer in the power of integrated behavioral health. Some of the most meaningful progress I've seen with patients has happened alongside behavioral health consultants—professionals trained in trauma, anxiety, depression, and recovery. It's the combination of medical and emotional care that truly transforms outcomes.”

Guest: James Del Rosso, DO, FAOCD Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Explore the latest breakthroughs in dermatology care with Dr. James Del Rosso, who highlights newly approved and emerging therapies for severe alopecia area, actinic keratosis, and atopic dermatitis.

In a recent episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael reconnected with Kelly Botta, a board-certified Physician Assistant and President of Smartypants Medicine. Since their last interaction in October 2022, Smartypants Medicine has undergone significant growth and transformation. The practice, known for its unique Direct Primary Care model, offers a more affordable, convenient, and patient-focused healthcare experience. Kelly shared that the cornerstone of Smartypants Medicine is the Direct Primary Care model, which allows patients to pay a simple monthly fee for healthcare. This model emphasizes improved access, affordability, and personalized care. "It's a low-cost way to get healthcare, and it's been absolutely incredible. I get more time with my patients, and we are not rushing through visits," Kelly explained. A standout feature of Smartypants Medicine is the ability to text or email with healthcare providers and the guarantee of same-day or next-day visits. This immediacy in healthcare access addresses one of the significant challenges in the current healthcare system - the shortage of healthcare providers. Kelly delved into the practice's focus on preventative care, educating patients, and working together to maintain and improve health. “Our model allows us to spend time with folks to really educate and find areas of opportunity where they can improve their health. We look at how we can adjust medications, reverse diseases, and really personalize their healthcare,” she said. Janet noted the traditional feel of this modern healthcare approach. “It seems like it's the epitome of what medicine used to be like,” she observed. Kelly agreed, emphasizing that Smartypants Medicine combines the personal touch of old-school healthcare with the convenience of modern technology. Since its inception, the practice has expanded by adding a new provider, two administrative assistants, and a physical location in Winchester, while still offering house calls. This growth has enabled Smartypants Medicine to serve a larger patient base and maintain its high standard of personalized care. Kelly addressed a common misconception about Physician Assistants (PAs), clarifying that PAs can provide a full scope of primary care, from diagnosing and treating ailments to prescribing medications and conducting procedures. “We work in collaboration with physicians, but in primary care, there's really no difference from the patient's perspective in terms of the level of care they receive,” Kelly stated. Janet highlighted how this model benefits not only individuals but also local businesses. Kelly elaborated on partnerships with small businesses, noting that they can offer their employees a membership to SmartyAnts Medicine as a cost-effective healthcare solution, complemented by a high deductible health plan to cover catastrophic care. Kelly also discussed the financial transparency that Smartypants Medicine provides, particularly regarding lab tests and imaging services. By negotiating cash pay discounts and offering clear costs upfront, they help patients manage healthcare expenses more effectively. The practice currently serves patients aged 16 and up, with hopes to expand to pediatric care in the future. Kelly encourages anyone interested to explore their website: https://www.smartypantsmedicine.com/ and consider how this innovative healthcare model might benefit their lives.

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. AJ (Amjed) Kadhim-Saleh, a dynamic family physician and entrepreneur from Toronto. Dr. AJ shares his inspiring journey from dreaming about building his own clinic during residency to actually opening the doors of his practice—starting with just a concrete slab and a vision of long-term sustainability in medicine. The conversation dives into the nuts and bolts of setting up a clinic from scratch, the importance of efficient systems, and the sometimes-overwhelming administrative burden that comes with being both a physician and practice owner. Dr. AJ openly discusses the challenges he faced with paperwork, how it began to impact his family life, and the pivotal moment that led him to co-found Pippin AI, an innovative AI scribe designed to support family doctors. Along the way, Dr. AJ and Dr. Smith explore the often overlooked business side of medical practice, the need for practical education in practice management, and how embracing change (with a little entrepreneurial grit and a supportive team) can help create a more sustainable clinical day—and a life outside of medicine. Whether you're a new resident thinking about your future, a physician looking for inspiration to build a more efficient practice, or just curious about how technology is shaping the future of primary care, this episode is packed with insights, practical tips, and plenty of encouragement to pursue your vision. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Build with Vision & Community: Starting a clinic from the ground up is about more than architectural plans—it's about designing systems, choosing supportive partners, and cultivating a team invested in sustainable change. Embrace Technology for Sustainability: Efficient tools—like secure patient portals and AI-powered documentation—can relieve the paperwork burden, free up precious hours, and allow us to focus on quality patient care (and our lives outside the clinic!). Change is a Team Sport: Successful practice transformation hinges on bringing your people along for the ride. Clearly communicate the “why” behind changes, tailor solutions to their needs, and foster an environment of ongoing collaboration and support. Meet Dr. AJ (Amjed) Kadhim-Saleh: Dr. Amjed Kadhim-Saleh (AJ for short) is a community family physician, clinic owner, and health technology entrepreneur in Toronto. AJ graduated medical school from the University of Ottawa, and completed his family medicine residency at the University of Toronto. Serving a diverse population of over 1700 patients, AJ is passionate about comprehensive family medicine and building efficient practice. AJ developed an AI-powered Physician Assistant called Pippen, which aims to alleviate administrative burden among physicians and encourage better doctor-patient interactions. AJ is also a Clinical Lecturer at the University of Toronto. -------------- Would you like to view a transcript of this episode?

Physician assistant David Olson discusses his article, "Taking a break from medicine: a journey to rediscover joy and purpose." He describes feeling trapped in an unhealthy, borderline abusive relationship with medicine, citing normalized disrespect, intense pressure from employers focused on metrics over provider wellbeing, and the demoralizing impact of system failures, particularly during and after COVID-19. David shares his experiences with dwindling job satisfaction as a hospitalist facing staffing instability and later in the "wasteland" of primary care, highlighting how burnout severely affected his marriage and his relationship with his children, leaving him exhausted and short-tempered. Realizing incremental changes weren't enough, David and his wife made the drastic decision to take a year-long break from medicine to travel the world with their three young children, prioritizing family, joy, and quality of life over salary. This journey is his attempt to rediscover purpose and hope, offering encouragement to other health care professionals facing similar struggles to challenge limiting beliefs and consider bold changes for their own well-being.

At the age of 17, she shadowed a veterinarian to gain insight into the profession. However, witnessing a procedure on a small chihuahua left Angela emotionally shaken, as she found it difficult to handle the emotional aspects of veterinary care. Realizing that her sensitivities might better serve her in a different capacity, Angela chose to become a Physician Assistant. In this role, she channels her compassion and dedication to care by working with human patients, while still nurturing her love for dogs in her personal life.Connect Angela : Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/amarie2416/Organizations:Cypress Lucky Mutts -  https://www.cypressluckymuttrescue.org/Special Pals  - https://specialpals.org/Meet Ashleigh Bodell – your guide to the mystical and the magical on the Big Crystal Energy Podcast.By day, she's a dedicated orthopedic physician assistant, but by night, she dives deep into the metaphysical, exploring crystals, energy work, and the unseen forces that shape our world.

Around that time he was able to get an entry level position, then subsequently to the trading floor,  at the now defunct bank Bear Stearns, but within a relatively short time realized that working on Wall Street was not like the movies and moved on. He went on to get a medical degree and practiced medicine as a Physician Assistant beginning in 1996, now retired from practice. He also served in the United States Naval Reserve Medical Service Corps, having attained the rank of Lieutenant. He has even published a book on casino Blackjack strategies years later, and was banned from playing the game in Las Vegas casinos.Gregory Mannarino -YouTube -   @GregoryMannarino  Website - https://traderschoice.net/WTFinance -Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wtfinancee/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/67rpmjG92PNBW0doLyPvfniTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtfinance/id1554934665?uo=4Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnthonyFatseas

Send us a textEver feel like your body is trying to tell you something - but you have no clue what? Maybe you're constantly tired, stressed, or just off, and your doctor says, “You're fine!” while you're over here feeling like a car running on fumes.  Well, what if you could run a full diagnostic on yourself - without stepping foot in a doctor's office? Enter at-home lab testing - your secret weapon for unlocking optimal health.   In today's episode, I sit down with Erica Hull, a board-certified Physician Assistant and Certified Mastery Level Integrative Health Practitioner, to talk about how simple at-home lab tests can help you uncover hidden stress, mineral imbalances, and even toxic heavy metals lurking in your body.    Oh, and I also took one of these tests myself… and let's just say, my body had some thoughts about my lifestyle choices.

It's Wednesday, February 19th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Christians faced the most murders and abductions in Africa Global Christian Relief released the Violent Incidents Database last month in partnership with the International Institute for Religious Freedom. The publicly accessible resource records over 6,000 verified incidents of religious persecution starting from 2022. Christians faced the most murders and abductions in Africa according to the database. Europe led in terms of damage to religious buildings. Believers faced the most sentences and arrests in Asia. Asia also led in terms of attacks on houses and people being forced to leave their home or country.   Global Christian Relief reported Nigeria, India, China, and Azerbaijan were some of the worst countries for the persecution of Christians in their 2025 Red List Report.  British woman in trouble for holding pro-life sign outside abortion mill A retired medical scientist in England will face trial next month for her pro-life work. The case began when authorities confronted 63-year-old Livia Tossici-Bolt for holding a sign near an abortion mill. The sign read “Here to talk, if you want to.”  Jeremiah Igunnubole, Legal Counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom UK, noted, “Under far-reaching and vaguely-written rules, we have seen volunteers like Livia criminalized simply for offering conversations to those in need; and others dragged through courts for praying, even silently, in their minds.” Christian physician assistant fired for affirming two genders In the United States, a Christian healthcare worker is fighting for her religious freedom with the help of First Liberty. Back in 2021, the University of Michigan Health System fired Valerie Kloosterman. The physician assistant lost her job for remaining committed to the Biblical definition of male and female. She took her case to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this month. Kloosterman said, “I couldn't do this without my faith. This battle belongs to the Lord. I'm His instrument and I'm required to be faithful. I'm hoping that I do that every step of this process even though it can be difficult and hard.” 2 Chronicles 20:15 says, “Thus says the LORD to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's.” Trump announces reciprocal tariffs President Donald Trump announced reciprocal tariffs on Monday. He wrote on X, “On Trade, I have decided, for purposes of Fairness, that I will charge a RECIPROCAL Tariff -- meaning whatever Countries charge the United States of America, we will charge them. No more, no less!” A Trump administration official told The Hill the tariffs will apply equally to competitors, like communist China, or allies like the European Union or Japan or Korea. JP Morgan, Citigroup, & Morgan Stanley scrub DEI nonsense Big banks in the U.S. are reacting to President Trump's executive order against diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, also known as DEI. Banks like Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, and Citigroup have scrubbed their public references to DEI in recent weeks, reports The Wall Street Journal.  A White House fact sheet from last month noted, “In the private sector, many corporations and universities use DEI as an excuse for biased and unlawful employment practices and illegal admissions preferences, ignoring the fact that DEI's foundational rhetoric and ideas foster intergroup hostility.” Delta plane crashed at Canadian airport, flipped upside down A Delta Air Lines jet crashed at Canada's Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday, reports Fox News. The flight was carrying 80 people on board from Minneapolis.  The plane ended upside down on the runway, leaving passengers hanging from their seats “like bats” as one passenger described.  At least 21 people were injured, but thankfully no one died in the crash.  Republican Rep. Pete Stauber of Minnesota said, “I am praying for those involved and will continue to monitor this situation as details emerge. I am incredibly grateful for the quick response of the first responders on the ground!”  Anniversary of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress And finally, this week is the 347th anniversary of the publication of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. His first volume of the book was announced on February 18, 1678. With 250 million copies sold, it's one of the best-selling books of all time.  If you don't have a copy, pick up one today. It's a must have volume for every Christian's library. Bunyan began the work from prison. He was sentenced for holding unsanctioned religious services. Despite suffering for his faith, he would produce a Christian classic that would influence the church for centuries.  The 19th century English preacher Charles Spurgeon said of Bunyan, “Read anything of his, and you will see that it is almost like reading the Bible itself. He had read it till his very soul was saturated with Scripture; and though his writings are charmingly full of poetry, yet he cannot give us his Pilgrim's Progress—that sweetest of all prose poems—without continually making us feel and say, ‘Why, this man is a living Bible!'” Jeremiah 15:16 says, “Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; for I am called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, February 19th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.
