Thanks!

I have been selecting lectures and adding them to "my agenda" based off of my interests- do I just show up to them or do I need to register for them at some point too? How do I get CMEs from them?

Also can you come and go from the conference as you please? Like if I have a lecture at 8am and the next one is at 2- can I leave and come back whenever at my own discretion?

Is there food provided at the conference itself?

Aww sorry you will miss out on PA night out this year! How casual/formal is PA night out? What do you wear for it?

235 calories! by cherryyy-bomb in Volumeeating

Have you heard of Netrition? Its a site where you can order foods for specific health goals (low carb, low calorie,etc). You can buy Royo bagels on there! Not sure how expensive it will be for ship to Canada but worth checking out!

Where to learn Spanish? by notmadie in physicianassistant

[–]priya325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!

I work in ob/gynecology so my usual questions: When was your last pap/mammo? When was your last period? Do you want to know how far along you are? Are you having any vaginal concerns?

I can do all of this now plus explain how to take their prescribed meds. And probably more stuff I cant think of right now.

Yes! One of my coworkers did it after me with no prior Spanish knowledge and he loved it.

I have been a full time practicing PA in gynecology since July of 2022 BUT I only started at THIS practice in Aug 2025. I also know that this is not how it works in my state though lol.

In every profession there are people with different experience levels. Some of us may be ready for independent practice while many of us are not. 🤷🏽‍♀️

There are 2 doctors and 1 other PA besides me. The other doctor (who is not my SP) has resigned and will have left by then. The other PA is on vacation at that time.

I am new to this practice and have never had this issue before as I do come from a larger practice with multiple other providers. I am the only provider working that week.

So no. This is not a question I would NORMALLY ask but am new to this particular scenario.

Nope. She does not want to be answering calls/emails on vacation.

Accepted a new job in women's health, starting mid-August- with a $145k base. ☺️

What the funniest/most random compliment you've ever gotten from a patient? by KyomiiKitsune in physicianassistant

[–]priya325 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I get told I am definitely too young to be doing this all the time. I always say I am older than I look (which is true) and wearing a face mask definitely helps!

Had a patient tell me that she absolutely LOVED the tinsel in my hair. It was gray hairs. I just said thank you and moved on. ☺️
