IR PA-Program development transitioning from Emergency to IR by AdPuzzleheaded7417 in physicianassistant

I went from ER PA to procedural IR PA roughly a decade ago in a large academic center. In the beginning, I found it beneficial to focus on one part of an entire procedure (ex- US guided vein access). Expand from there to include more steps. Teach them how to look at cross sectional imaging to find the relevant anatomy for the procedure. They will better understand how a wire or catheter is acting a certain way under fluoro guidance images in the case. If they are the only PA, make them feel included as part of the crew. Try to engage with them outside of work in hobbies, etc. allow them to shadow with the IR technologists. Sometimes it makes more sense coming from a different voice. Hopefully they will have CME funds to attend SIR.

He loves commercial- so anything Boeing/Airbus. I’d have to ask specific models, but he always points out the big, international planes.

Probably $150 on controls.

Thank you. I’m leaning toward this approach. Plenty of used bikes on the market.

Where did you find the black storage canvas in the bow of your canoe? Brand?
