Procedures in FP/IM


Recommended Posts

I've shadowed a Family Practice PA a fair bit and observed him performing various procedures such as joint aspirations, mole removal, and simple wound closures. Maybe this has been discussed previously (I apologize if so), but I was wondering if some of y'all who have been practicing in primary care might share some common procedures you perform? Thanks!
