Personally, I will not find private caregivers for clients. I only recommend agencies. Agencies cost more but they find the caregivers, do the background check, train them, provide insurance, etc. If a caregiver/companion doesn’t show up or gets sick, the agency finds a replacement. If there is a problem with the caregiver, the agency is…[Read more]

Hi All,
A client of mine recently hired a live-in “companion”. Unlike most caregivers, they’re not really there for the medical or ADL purposes, though they can provide non-medical supports (esp. transportation) as needed. The other key difference is they can be hired for essentially 24/7 in-person support on essentially a per-diem basis (with…[Read more]

Thank you for your assessment, Camille!
Being creative and working towards accomplishments, I interpret as a problem solver, very useful qualities! Not accepting “no” easily and asking “why” will suit you well. Many times it just takes asking why to cause a pause and opportunity to problem solve and get the help your clients want/need and…[Read more]

While I don’t thrive on challenges, I feel I am creative and work towards accomplishment and don’t accept no easily. I am a people person. I do have an entrepreneurial spirit. I understand the value I can bring as an advocate. My challenge will be the line between medicine and advocacy. I will need to practice this balance.

Patient Perspectives: Ehlers Danlos Syndrome with Emily Rubenstein
February 2024 Join us for a discussion with Emily Rubenstein who is here to share her story and help educate the APHA community about hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). On-Demand Recording: 50 minutes /*! elementor – v3.19.0 – 29-01-2024 */ .elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=”.svg”]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block} Emily Rubenstein was diagnosed with hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and endometriosis in 2022 after years of searching for an explanation for her chronic and worsening symptoms. Given how challenging her own experience has been, she is interested in how she can help others with chronic illness—diagnosed and yet to be diagnosed—advocate for themselves and receive the care they deserve. Emily works at the Aspen Institute, where she leads the Food Leaders Fellowship and previously supported the Health Innovators Fellowship. Prior to Aspen, she worked in educational testing and research. Emily received her bachelor’s from Harvard, where she studied education policy.https://vimeo.com/917979626 Additional Resources Emily’s talk at the Externally Led Patient-Focused Drug Development Meeting CINK Center PRISM Spine & Joint: Home – P.R.I.S.M.

I now realize that I do want to be board certified. Is the class on APHA the best way to learn and prepare for the test?
Any suggestions are welcomed! -

Hi, Lisa!
Great question and it can be confusing!Yes, that is correct. Completing the final lesson in each course, will award you the CEU certificate. If you are not yet certified and plan to be, then it would be best to wait since they won’t accept any CEUs that were completed prior to your certification date. For anyone who may already be a…[Read more]
