Who Is The Physician Assistant?

I would describe my personality as diligent, fun loving, and adaptive. I enjoy spending time with my friends and my sorority, yet I have taken on a position within that sorority that requires me to be on top of nearly all details taking place. I enjoy working hard to make sure everyone else has a smooth-running sorority experience. I like to go with the flow and enjoy like as it comes!

I interned as a Medical Assistant and received my Associate’s in Applied Science Degree in Medical Assisting in December of 2015. I knew that receiving this degree was only the beginning. I thought long and hard about what I wanted to do with my life. I knew I wanted to have a better

Medical Assistants help offices and clinics run smoothly. A Medical Assistant can work individually with a doctor. In a small office they tend to report directly to a physician, health practitioner or office manager. In a larger office they tend to specialized in a particular area and they report to department administrator or other operations management.

Physician Assistants are clinicians practicing in a physician extender role. They are found in almost every medical and surgical area in the U.S. and are appearing in both primary and specialist care settings in Canada. They perform similar tasks to their physician supervisors, including examination, diagnosis, diagnostic testing, treatment, referrals and prescribing. Research shows PAs to be capable of giving care, comparable to that of physicians for similar services.

In ten years from now I can see myself as a certified Physicians Assistant in the specialty of Urgent Care in a hospital here in San Antonio, Texas.

The role of a physician assistant was created specifically to help adjust for the shortages of physicians. Unfortunately, these shortages are occurring in underserved communities that need readily available healthcare facilities and employees. Physician assistants, are trained to be able to handle a wide variety of health disease, and with a background in public health physician assistants are able to extend the “one provider, one patient” mentality and focus on the community as a whole. PAs not only treat disease, but they also promote health, decreasing healthcare demand through preventive care. For example, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has four foundational health principles that align with the type of care that PAs

Over the course of four years I studied and worked hard to learn the rules, laws, regulations and procedures that a medical assistant will be required to know in order to work in a hospital or doctor’s office. Since then I have achieved in attaining many licenses, one of them just so happened to be my Medical Assisting license. With this license I have been able to get a behind the scene look to the works and procedures some medical offices go through on a daily basis. Every day for the past 2 months I have learned the ins and outs of two health providing facilities. One in a clinic of a nursing home, the other in a family physician office, both ran very differently and in completely different locations. I thought interning like this,

After graduation from New York University in 2013, I decided take time off before applying to medical school. I took this time off in order to gain more experience both in healthcare and life. I felt there was stillroom for me to learn about medicine and more importantly about myself. Firstly, I found a job working in the front office of a newly opened dermatology practice, learning about the business, insurance, and paperwork that goes into running a medical practice. Wanting more exposure to medical procedures and interaction between doctor and patient, I became a medical assistant. This was one of the most valuable experiences of my gap years. I was able to gain first hand experience of the daily life of a doctor and develop my communication

We need to have a doctor degrees in our field after we finished our master degree and bachelor degree. Also, experience and certifications may be a requirement in some colleges.We can gain experiences by working as a professor assistants when we become a graduated student which will make us more

After a careful reading, Health Status Outcome (HSO) studies are focused on the ending result or outcome of medical care given, taking into account the health care process, and well being of patients and the population.  Ultimately, these studies are looking at the health status of the patient and are related to diagnosis. For example, lab test results, complication rates, morbidity rates, functional status, well being, and satisfaction with care given are health status outcomes.  Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) are subjective reports generated from the patient either through diaries, self-completed questionnaires, or interviews regarding their treatment.  PRO helps with research to evaluate patient’s perception, symptoms, satisfaction

As a child, I was controlled by this fear of the dark. The dark brought much uncertainty, and it always made me feel uncomfortable. The absence of light to me meant the absence of knowledge—for it was never certain what hid behind the dark. It was always a night-light in the hallway that released that anxiety in me. Nevertheless, there was nothing like the warmth of the sun in the mornings that truly brought me at ease. No matter how powerful its beams are, your eyes only allow you to see a fraction of the light the sun has to offer. I could never forget the day I discovered a whole new spectrum of light—one that affirmed my purpose as a Physician Assistant.

After the car accident and my experience in the emergency room, my passion for medicine flourished. In my senior year of high school I enrolled in an Anatomy & Physiology course. I was enthralled by the curriculum and our visit to a cadaver lab. I chose Health Sciences when selecting a

Cheerful, organized, creative, with good sense of humor, approachable and effective communicator are some of the virtues which I could describe myself.

In my family, everyone's dreams is to be in the medical field. However, I was not interested in pursuing it. I did not want to be forced to do something that I was not absorbed. This view did not change until summer of 2012. During summer, a teacher introduced me to a show, Fullmetal Alchemist, where they showed how doctors and alchemists help save people’s lives every day. This film inspired me to become someone that can help the community. So, I decided to become a pharmacist, making medicine for people, and helping me change my perspective the medical

This is not my first time writing an essay, even so I feel like I have never written one. This is not because I do not have any idea. I find it difficult to write about myself. You need to know why you think I'm worth accepted at your school. Do you like the student writing compliments to themselves? If I would have been a teacher, surely I do not. In addition to that, I'm not a student in her twenties, impressed by youthful dreams and positive self-assessment. I just turn 32 years old and moreover I am a mother of a 6-year-old girl. Maybe you have understood me, I do not know how making impression to accept me in your college, but I feel more confident in answering the question, “Why I should be a Physician Assistant?”
