In this enlightening episode of Hangin' at the Reef, host Jeffrey Rich explores the evolution and significance of the physician assistant (PA) profession with two influential thought leaders: Dr. Alfred Sadler, a pioneer in PA education and practice, and Cynthia Lord, a distinguished PA educator and advocate. Together, they discuss the origins of the PA profession, its rapid growth, and its vital role in modern healthcare.
The PA profession has transformed patient care globally from its beginnings in the 1960s to address physician shortages to becoming a cornerstone of healthcare delivery across specialties. Dr. Sadler and Cynthia share their experiences and insights on the adaptability of PAs, their integral role in interprofessional teams, and the future of the field. They also highlight the exciting opportunities for PAs to address healthcare challenges, including rural and underserved areas, mental health, and telemedicine.
Listeners will gain a deep appreciation for the PA profession and its commitment to collaboration, patient safety, and community care.
