Guidelines and Recommendations for Practicing Medicine

[Sirpaul1990]

Hi all, 

 

I'm trying to compile a nice list of guidelines and recommendations used by PAs for clinical practice. I'm utilizing many of our lectures as a start as many of them list references to these sites. Some of these specialities I do not have lots of content or any at all. This list would be very useful to newly graduated PAs and PA students on rotation. Thanks - all who contribute will be cited as sources for the article.

Promoting your website on a PA forum when PA's are mentioned far fewer times than NP's are does not help your cause around these parts
