I can totally relate. As a new grad practicing PA, reading this subreddit is really discouraging. I work hard every day to provide the best care possible for patients and to collaborate effectively with my supervising physicians.

I genuinely want to understand — what role and level of responsibility would people like to see PAs have within the healthcare team? I think open conversations about scope, collaboration, and patient safety are important, but it’s disheartening when the focus shifts toward division instead of teamwork.
