@celliottability As we continue to weather the fallout of #COVID19 on all aspects of healthcare, now, more than ever, I am checking in with fellow #frontline colleagues encouraging us all to be aware of our mental health and keep #burnout at bay. @CAPAACAM
Thank you to the @MPASA_Mac team for such an important message. Even as a practicing PA I work alongside residents daily and continue to learn and be in awe of their resilience and patient care.
#FrontLinePA at @UHN & @HamHealthSci working on inpatient wards with patients under investigation for #COVID19 & in the ICU helping manage critically ill patients. @celliottability@fordnation@OPSEU please recognize my PA colleagues for their inspiring work on the frontlines.
.@ONgov’s “Pandemic Pay” list covers 350k+ frontline workers, but not physician assistants or pharmacy professionals (to name a few) @globalnewsto spoke w/ @TorontoER_PA & @OPAProfAff who say it’s demoralizing to be excluded when their jobs deal firsthand w/ the risks of #COVID19
Friend and fmr CBC colleague @maureentaylor31 is a Physician Assistant so like @NightShiftMD I too know of the work they do. They are without doubt frontline workers and must be recognized as such.
Physician Assistants like Jeff Straw work shoulder to shoulder with MDs in the ED, ICU & OR. They are frontline workers in every sense of the word.
@OPSEU@fordnation I'm sad to see Physician Assistants have not been included on this list. We will continue to care in ICUs, EDs, and on hospital wards for our patients, alongside all front line workers in these difficult times. #FrontLinePAs @CAPAACAM @celliottability
@OPSEU We are so fortunate to have you advocating for frontline workers during this pandemic. Pharmacist, Resp Therapists and Physician Assistants are some of the workers that we hope are recognized by the Ministry. #frontlinePAs@fordnation@celliottability @CAPAACAM
Working inpatient Internal Medicine treating Covid patients. Currently self monitoring symptoms for previous Covid patient exposures as mandated by occ health. Self isolating from my 15 month old child @fordnation@celliottability@ONThealth@HFO_MRA acknowledge our contributions
#FrontlinePAs As a PA, I take pride in being on front lines during this pandemic, and even though I know I'm potentially putting my own family at risk ... I and my fellow colleagues and friends across the province will continue to do so to provide the best care to patients.
@NightShiftMD Dr. Goldman, as someone who has supported the Physician Assistant community in the past. We would be ever grateful for your support in helping to recognize us as frontline workers in #COVID19#FrontLinePAs @CAPAACAM
