Patient introduction


Recommended Posts

We aren't possessions as the misplaced apostrophe often implies.

 

I would insist on colleague or partner or even PA partner if one really needs to present that you aren't a doctor.

 

Set the precedent and start introducing yourself to patients as Jane Doe, Physician Assistant, Dr. Smith's PA partner or partner. 

 

I have been doing that since I took over a retiring doc's practice and we are a one doc, 2 PA practice. I want the patients to get used to it.

 

It also shows a respectful relationship with your doc and a degree of honor to your position - as in you didn't go to school for 9 months and get a certificate - you are a trained partner.

 

Do the right thing and let's move forward.
