In PA school we learned the first treatment to almost every disease is lifestyle modifications. But why do we wait until a patient receives a diagnosis instead of being proactive about starting lifestyle modifications earlier? How do we actually help patients follow through with making effective lifestyle modifications? What do we do if we know we need to make changes in our own lifestyles?
My guest today is here to answer these questions and more! Dr. Jennifer Harrington is a PA with 25 years of experience and has held pivotal roles in professional leadership, advocacy, and PA education. She worked in rural medicine for many years and is now a PA program director, following her passion for education. She also runs her own non-profit, Called to Serve, organizing medical missions trips.
Dr. Harrington shares how she was able to prevent burnout by creating routines and habits that focus on nutrition and quality self care. In order to effectively carry out her several roles and responsibilities, Dr. Harrington discusses how she learned the importance of taking care of herself so that she can better take care of others.

I love to highlight Unicorn PAs, especially PAs who are working in rarer, unique specialities. My guest today absolutely fits that bill! Paige Grasso is a surgical PA working in transplant and hepatobiliary surgery. Paige shares what life is like as a transplant surgery PA and how she got started in this unique speciality.
We also discuss what every clinician (regardless of specialty) needs to know about patients who’ve received an organ transplant, specifically in regards to immunosuppression therapy.
In addition, Paige and I talk about interviewing for a new job, whether you’re a new grad or a seasoned PA. What should you ask about when interviewing and what is important to look for during the orientation period of a new job?
Tune in to hear Paige’s unique perspective as a transplant surgery PA and how you can apply some of these pearls to your own practice. Join in Paige’s excitement of “doing what no one else is doing” in this niche specialty at the intersection of surgery and medicine.

I am so excited to share today’s guest, PA Tara Cross. Tara currently works as an orthopedic PA but also runs her own business teaching wilderness medicine of all levels. From teaching lay people basic first aid and CPR to running advanced life support courses for PAs and paramedics, Tara loves to share her knowledge of wilderness medicine and safety.
In today’s episode, Tara tells us what to do if we encounter an emergency outside the walls of our hospital or clinic. She details what we should have on hand to be prepared for an emergency, whether we’re hiking the backcountry or at our kid’s soccer game. Tara discusses the basics everyone should know and how to adjust our mindset from waiting for CT or ultrasound results to using the limited resources we have on hand to triage the situation and stabilize the patient.
Listen in to learn what you can apply today to increase safety and be prepared on your next camping trip or next trip to the playground.

We’re kicking off a new series all about back to money basics with this episode on the podcast. Joining me as a special guest for this series is my very own virtual assistant, Sarah Miller. Sarah is a critical care PA, a VA, and also a finance guru. Sarah shares how and why she became a VA as well as how a strong foundation in money management allowed her the financial freedom to make different decisions regarding her career and family. She was able to make decisions based on her values and what worked best for her family, not solely based on money.
We want you to also have that financial freedom. To be able to make decisions based on your values and what’s important to you, not based only on finances. We want you to choose your job, where you live, how you raise your children, what kinds of vacations you go on, etc based on what you want, not only on the cost associated.
Financial freedom brings you choices, time freedom, and the ability to create the life you love. Let’s dig into the basics of money so that you, too, can build a solid financial foundation for your future.
