LKPAC Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I often perform minor surgical procedures such as skin cancer excisions, ingrown toenails, sebaceous cysts, lipomas etc. This is nothing new for many PAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelusionalEnthusiasm Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Very true. The headline is a little misleading. But it's a good advancement for the profession there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornellSPA Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 The part I thought was interesting was the positive info from the royal college of surgeons. THe american college of surgeons here would never come out w a statement about any type of optimal/individual practice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
