Abstract: Telementoring is a valuable workforce development resource that connects subject matter experts with healthcare providers via videoconferencing. This technology can deliver training, education, and ongoing technical support to build workforce capacity. Arizona State University (ASU) has leveraged a widely used telementoring platform, Project ECHO, to disseminate best practices in palliative medicine. The model has increased clinician knowledge and confidence, and the learning network may provide protective factors for clinician wellness. The replicable and inclusive nature of telementoring platforms creates educational opportunities to align learners across the didactic and clinical years of medical training, as well as into early- and midcareer for physician associates/assistants (PAs). Telementoring programs can be used across the PA learning continuum, including in PA training programs.
摘要: Telementoring 是一种宝贵的劳动力发展资源,它通过视频会议将主题专家与医疗服务提供者联系起来。这项技术可以提供培训、教育和持续的技术支持,从而提高劳动力的能力。亚利桑那州立大学(ASU)利用广泛使用的远程指导平台 "ECHO 项目 "传播姑息医学的最佳实践。该模式增加了临床医生的知识和信心,学习网络可为临床医生的健康提供保护因素。辅导平台的可复制性和包容性创造了教育机会,使学习者在医学培训的教学和临床阶段以及助理医师/助理助理医师(PA)的早期和中期职业生涯中保持一致。Telementoring 计划可用于整个 PA 学习过程,包括 PA 培训计划。

Abstract: A characteristic of physician associates/assistants (PAs) observed consistently is their high degree of career satisfaction. Over 6 decades, national surveys showed that PA job satisfaction levels (either satisfied or very satisfied) consistently were in the mid-80% positive range. This analysis explains this remarkable, consistent, and persistent level of satisfaction among practicing PAs. A review of the literature on PA job satisfaction shows that autonomy in clinical practice appears to be a major correlate with job and career satisfaction.

Abstract: Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum (LHIS) is a rare but benign cardiac tumor that can be found on cardiac imaging such as echocardiogram, or during surgery or an autopsy. Cardiac MRI is the best imaging modality to determine the borders of the tumor and its extension into the intraventricular septum and ventricular free wall. Patients require close monitoring because LHIS may cause right or left outflow tract obstruction or superior vena cava obstruction, requiring cardiac surgical intervention. This article describes a patient with LHIS who underwent cardiac surgery because of her increasing symptomatology.

Abstract: Opportunities outside patient care are expanding for physician associates/assistants (PAs). Exploring new roles beyond clinical practice has the potential for improved career fulfillment as clinicians experience increasing levels of burnout and declining satisfaction with patient care. The decision to shift to a nonclinical role may be overwhelming without knowing what positions PAs are qualified to consider. PAs are increasingly found in the fields of healthcare consulting (as medical science liaisons), medical writing, healthcare insurance, research, and academia. With the rapid growth in PA programs, the need for educators is critical and this transition creates an interesting dynamic in which a proficient clinician becomes a novice educator. This article delves into these expectations and provides guidance on making the transition.
摘要:医生助理/助理医师(PA)在病人护理之外的机会不断增多。由于临床医生的职业倦怠程度越来越高,对患者护理的满意度越来越低,因此探索临床实践以外的新角色有可能提高职业成就感。在不知道 PA 有资格考虑哪些职位的情况下,决定转向非临床角色可能会让人不知所措。越来越多的 PA 出现在医疗保健咨询(作为医学科学联络员)、医学写作、医疗保险、研究和学术领域。随着 PA 项目的快速增长,对教育工作者的需求也变得至关重要,这种转变产生了一种有趣的动态,即精通临床的医生变成了教育新手。本文将深入探讨这些期望,并就如何实现过渡提供指导。
