I’m just a beggar, going around telling other beggars where to find bread and living water. Jesus is the only way, only truth and the source of eternal life.

Per AAPA: “Numerous studies show the quality of care PAs provide is comparable to that of physicians in terms of patient safety, outcomes, and mortality. Studies also demonstrate no significant difference in hospital lengths of stay, readmissions, or adverse events..”

“Now more than ever we need to increase access to care by removing PA barriers to practice so we can treat these communities, particularly communities of color that have higher rates of COVID-19 infections.”

Stop distorting. OTP=Optimal TEAM Practice. You know this. The profession’s commitment to team practice is powerful. The PA and physician work together get to keep all the benefits of the team without the legal risks and administrative burdens that agreements entail.

29yo male, MVC rollover, c/o right chest wall pain. ATLS assessment, CXR and pelvic films, appropriate scans, re-assessed, appropriate xrays, consults called, patient admitted.
No supervision needed, no supervision given.

I was called down to the ED, 21yo with RLQ abd pain, exam and CT showed non-perf’d appy. I called the surgeon, transferred pt to OR, and transferred care to the surgeon. No supervision needed, no supervision given. That’s how it should work.

Why keep the burdensome red tape? It makes PAs feel worthless, physicians feel used by the system, and patients feel unable to get the medical care they need. No one wins!

3/3. PAs deserve FPA...patients deserve PAs to have FPA. FPA, in spite of how the phrase sounds, means collaboration, not independent practice. And if that distinction isn’t clear, we need to make that clear.

2/3 With current laws in many states, physicians COLLABORATE with NPs, and SUPERVISE the PAs.
PAs have more medical education and clinical hours. Does this make sense?
These outdated laws have been changed for NPs because of their political bloc. Does this make sense?

There is no intent to change the fundamental relationship between physician in PA but to remove the administrative barriers that repeatedly interrupt and slow down patient care. #PAsRock #PAs4OTP #PAsAreTheSolution

Some PAs were laid off, despite being trained as generalists. They can be repurposed to help if more states relax supervision guidelines, says Jonathan Sobel, PA director @NorthwellHealth: bit.ly/34xrRyF via @axios

@realDonaldTrump Sir, please permanently suspend the antiquated requirement for the supervision of Physician Assistants. We are trained like Physicians and need autonomy, especially during this pandemic. #PAsAreTheSolution #PAsDoThat #AAPA
