@markroseman There are physician assistants standing by and ready to work for interior health in emergency medicine. Allegedly, they are writing policy...
@dockevinmcleod@markroseman Imagine what it is like being a PA in BC specializing in emergency medicine and not being able to work locally.
I will add that interior health is moving forward, albeit with its own hurdles.
@CCurrieadvocate@BCChildrensHosp@CAPA_ACAM As a PA I feel for you. It doesn't have to be this way. And, in part because of your efforts, it won't continue to be this way. Thank you.
Listening & chatting to @CAPA_ACAM members, PAs & Govt officials was very informative today.
The new PA pilot project is something, but we can do more & so much faster. Follow along as we continue to learn more about how PAs could help heal our broken #healthcare system.
Finally after many years of advocacy & development the UCalgary launches Master of Physician Assistant Studies program | News | University of Calgary. #albertaneedspas#PAschools @CAPA_ACAM https://t.co/yntNlBHNcE
@alandrummond2 As a PA specializing in emergency medicine, and one of many that has had to travel out of province for work, this is truly a watershed moment for healthcare in BC.
@BC_GP_Shortage@adriandix@Dave_Eby@BCCFP @BCFamilyDoctors @Docs4BC “There is considerable overlap among the characteristics of patients and patient visits to physicians, NPs, & PAs in CHCs, suggesting that the three types of providers… share common clinical responsibilities, & have similar patient care capacities in the CHC setting.”

@dockevinmcleod It would be amazing if BC joined the rest of the country in utilizing Physician Assistants (PAs)!
We are here. We want to work here. And we make a difference by enabling more patients seen & being cost effective.
