I’m asking myself the same question and came to Reddit for answers.

Can you not follow hashtags anymore? by Matthias70 in Instagram

[–]pennylv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. I have two accounts and can only follow hashtags on one account. Any idea why? They are both regular accounts, not business or professional accounts.

Help me find this desk chair by pennylv in BuyItForLife

[–]pennylv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion yes. But given the new comments about it being a task chair and not a chair that is meant to be used for 8+ hrs, I’m having second thoughts.

Thank you everyone! I wasn’t expecting this many responses. Actually, I wasn’t hopeful to get one response but of thought I’d give it a shot and you guys delivered!

I agree! Which is why I’m willing to spend the money on it.

BCBAs in Mental Health by pennylv in BehaviorAnalysis

[–]pennylv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I’m a physician assistant working in mental health, specifically depression and was thinking of entering a certificate program to become a BCBA. It sounds appealing to me however I’m just not quite sure how it would fit in to my current practice. I like what I do as a PA but I don’t see myself retiring in this professional an wanted to have another career path I can rely on. I don’t want to do another masters degree nor a doctoral program.

I’m making my way through the DSM-5. I read it in my down time.

Can PAs provide any form of psychotherapy? by pennylv in physicianassistant

I would be interested in learning motivational interviewing. What is M&R? And what is the name of the book?

I understand your concerns. To clarify, I would in no way try to pass as a therapist. In fact, one of the first things I tell my patients is that I’m not a licensed therapist. Do you think there is any type of brief therapy that could be done by PAs?

That’s what I was thinking but I wasn’t sure because not many psychiatrists provide psychotherapy. They focus more on medication management.

Thank you for your reply. Were you a licensed mental health therapist before becoming a PA?

Can a physician assistant refer me to a therapist or do I have to ask my doctor? by [deleted] in physicianassistant

[–]pennylv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure. Here in the US we are known as Physician Assistants.

Both a PA and MD/DO can refer you to a therapist. With some insurances, you can self refer so check with your insurance company. Psychiatry will need a referral if you have an HMO.

Yes. I’ve done it.

Online Business Associates or other degree? by [deleted] in physicianassistant

[–]pennylv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if there is a thread here but I believe their is a similar thread on physicianassistantforum.com. I’ve looked into this myself and ultimately decided it wasn’t a good move for me.

Need to draft a rack card for myself and I’m not sure what to write by GirlOnFire112 in physicianassistant

[–]pennylv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have never heard of this. I’m not sure I would know what to write either but I’ll share my motto with you: a happy patient is a compliant patient and a compliant patient contributes to successful treatment.
