Channel: Canadian PA

Eden is a Manitoba PA graduate with experience working in rural Manitoba as well as Winnipeg, Manitoba. 

Here she explains what regulation means to an individual practicing PA, scope of practice, and performing prescriptions.

A quote when I asked Eden, "What do you recommend to hospitals or PA employers if they are thinking about adding a PA to their practice?"

The more you put into a PA and the more you teach them, the more you guide them, then the more that the PA can give back. 

I find that if you lead them, then they’ll be able to gain confidence and be able to trust you. 

It’s the relationship that helps build the PA. 

First it’s figuring out what works for the PA in terms of learning because some PAs like getting homework, or some like one-on-one teaching. For me, I was lucky enough for my first position, working in Steinbach, the physician was giving me one-on-one with the different cases we would see and review it, and that would give me the confidence to go for the next case I would see and do the same thing.

I think that when a new grad comes out, its best to start with off with that close contact, lecture-type style of learning and then just continue to build that trust by giving them more autonomy"
