One more thought, if your client is of sound and stable mind to be able to request you be added to the telemedicine visit (should this be an option), this may come across as more acceptable. Just a thought.

Cynthia,

This is great! Active listening is SO important. Your clients will feel very supported when they feel heard! Being creative and thinking outside the box is fun and necessary but you are right, sometimes the answer is right in front of you and we may sometimes think, is that a trick question because it was a simple fix after all! Your…[Read more]

Lawanda,

This is a great assessment! Being a creative problem solver will come in handy in this role for sure! I am sure you expect to find yourself facing a lot of challenges even with your experience in the healthcare system. I feel like I am always surprised with the new challenges that come up based on the uniqueness of each client and I too…[Read more]

I see you posted this in another space as well, I replied there for you!

Thank you for your assessment! Many of the strengths you listed are so vital and it is great that you have those already in place and likely they came naturally to you. Those are the types of things that are more difficult to “teach” to people. Billing, claims, bookkeeping can more easily be taught and learned, I also have no doubt with time and…[Read more]

I can hear your “legalese” in your intro, I am glad the 1 year deliberation lead you here! 🙂 I agree that this could be a great springboard to your advocacy work.

Thank you for your introduction!

I am so sorry to hear about your own health difficulties, I am sure it has taught you a lot about navigating the system to get what you need! How wonderful that you also have such rich experiences helping your mother through her journey, these experiences will definitely help you!

Thank you for your introduction!

My strengths are all of the emotional, non-tangible aspects of being a PA (empathy, professionalism, creativity, problem solving, chutzpah, self-discipline, patience, etc). As a pulmonologist I am well versed in how the health care systems work and find myself “navigating” patients through complex tasks and crossroads with even things outside of…[Read more]

(Q) What are your strengths? Be Bold Be Honest!
(A) My strengths are: I am a great active listener, I think our side the box; however, sometimes the answer is the one right in front of you, I enjoy researching to not only learn but to help understand diagnoses or treatment options, and I have advocacy experience.

(Q) What you think your…[Read more]

Lawanda,
Yes! I am so excited to hear how you can look back at the entry level position as your learning opportunity. I think that would have been an eye opening experience as you see virtually every single patient coming through your doors and how different all their needs and abilities are. Learning the language is so important and how to move…[Read more]

Wow! Tyson, you have such valuable experiences to share. It is scary to think about where your family would be if you hadn’t been able to be so actively involved in your son’s care. I can’t wait to read these articles, thank you so much for including them here.
Thank you for writing your introduction!

Steph

Our meetings will vary based on our participants availability, so do not fear, it won’t always be on the same day or same time.

I am so sorry my day yesterday didn’t go as planned, we will connect for sure!

Thanks for your intro, glad you are here!

Steph
