New PAs: Feeling unprepared for PA practice?
Seasoned PAs: Feeling weighed down by your current role?
You are not alone!
You’ve received your Master’s degree and are learning how to harness the vast medical knowledge you received in PA school, but no one prepares you for the clinical “everything else.”
Transitioning from high-achieving student to practicing PA is a massive feat, yet the weight of navigating your new professional reality can feel heavier than studying for and taking the PANCE.
Being a healer requires staying connected to your own humanity, yet the current medical landscape often feels designed to distance us from the very heart of our work.
You deserve to embrace the full promise of your role! You deserve a professional life where you honor your calling and cultivate your clinical skills, while still nurturing your well-being and your whole self outside of the clinic.
I am here to help you with all of the things PA school did not prepare you for:
Professional boundary setting
Managing administrative burdens
Navigating complex relationships with patients, physicians and colleagues
Building professional confidence
Protecting oneself from burnout & compassion fatigue
Student loan repayment options
Structured personal spending plans
Maximizing efficiency and harnessing time management
Mindfulness practices
Professional and personal goal setting
Real time, quick stress management strategies for use in clinical interactions with patients
Contract negotiation
Leadership skills
Cynicism mitigation
Leaving work at work; living life in the evenings instead of finishing notes
Implementation of AI supported scribing
The gift of honoring grief and suffering
When you work with me, you will get:
A professional physician assistant who is always in your corner
A seasoned clinician available for debrief after sticky, complicated patient cases
An objective partner in your journey, helping you discern what your path forward entails
A chance to work with a PA who has recovered from burnout and cynicism and now loves being a PA more than ever!
