The PA Is In | Tracy Bingaman | Physician Assistant/Physician Associate/PA-C/PA-S/PA Student

Aesthetics - botox, neuromodulators, hyaluronic acid fillers, biostimulators, thread lifts and more. I’m sharing what it looks like to live a day in the life as an Aesthetics PA.

My transition from traditional medicine into aesthetics came along with needing to reconcile my identity and separating who I am from what I do. I’ll unpack my favorite parts about my position in aesthetics as a Physician Associate.

Being a PA in different positions comes with unique challenges, whether it’s administrative, the patients or the logistics of the hours and demands of the position. Finding a Unicorn job as a PA - where you love who you work with, what you do, and the hours and demands fit your current season of life - is a challenge, for sure.

Melissa Kolowitz is a PA who, after becoming tapped out, drained and taken advantage of by a practice, worked to find her perfect fit position. In this episode, Melissa shares her experience with administration, finding the right fit, and the strategies you can use to overcome issues and become a Unicorn PA, too.

I always wore full time working motherhood like a badge of honor. I worked full time for the first 10 years of my career as a surgery PA and during that time experienced healthcare burnout in a big way.

When it was time to renegotiate my contract this year, instead of asking for more money I asked for fewer patient contact hours. On today’s episode I’m sharing how this decision changed myself, impacted my identity, improved my relationships and the financial impacts on our family.

Take a peek behind the curtain to find… germs and a reminder of your (and my) humanity. Working parenthood meets medicine and the demands that come with both can be a stressful, anxiety-provoking situation.

If you have young kids, ones that attend daycare, go to birthday parties or experience the outside world, your young kids are going to get sick. If you have a job and someone (or 20 patients) are counting on you to show up at work, then what do you do when one of your kids is sick.

I’m sharing my unfiltered, human thoughts on how to ditch mom guilt, call out and be with your kids when the need arises.

When COVID happened, Amber realized that her pace of running, coaching, working as a Critical Care PA and burning the candle at both ends wasn’t sustainable. She pivoted into the field of functional medicine and has paired her love of health and wellness with her medicine experience.   

Functional medicine is a root cause form of medicine. The functional medicine provider will work to uncover the why - the reason for the symptoms, not simply treating the symptoms themselves. Western Medicine is limited in it’s ability to investigate and discover the underlying cause of a problem.   “Where can these symptoms be coming from?” is the question that your functional medicine provider will seek to answer.

If you’re going to make a decision about something, that decision should be well informed. Just like reviewing an informed consent with a patient where we cover the risks, benefits and alternatives, you should understand what you’re missing out on if you aren’t a member of the AAPA.
