Episode 9 is with Hannah Wilson, a physician assistant (PA) working in outpatient general pediatrics.
This was actually the first interview I recorded for the podcast, way back in the summer of 2018. Hannah is a good friend of mine and fellow PA who is from my husband’s hometown. I saw Hannah grow as a PA, from just starting out to now being over a year in as a very competent provider. Our interview focuses primarily on life in the first year of work in healthcare, but I think it’s a great episode for everyone regardless of where they are at in their career.
We talk about:
- How to overcome the doubt in your abilities as a provider in that first year, including how to draw strength and how to continue learning as much as possible to best serve patients
- The role of PAs and the scope of their practice
- Advice for new grads applying for jobs, including what to look for in a practice
We reference:
- He Leadeth Me, By Walter Ciszek
- The Silence of St. Thomas, by Josef Pieper
- A River Runs Through It, by Norman MaClean
Enjoy!
