Moderator EMEDPA Posted July 14, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 14, 2022 Funny that the article can't decide if he is a PA or a physician. It calls him both at different points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An AF PA was relieved of his command for subpar performance as a commander. PA who join the ranks of command versus clinical duties are taking risks of being treated as an officer not clinician.

lifeguard Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) One may be an excellent clinician but a horrible leader. Command leadership positions in the military have people with multiple backgrounds. Some are nurses, physicians and some went to officer candidate school from enlisted positions such as hospital corpsman. The clinical background isn't as important to the military as the command and organizational leadership skills. I've seen the same in the civilian sector with top notch surgeons as chief executive officers that suck as leaders. One should stick with what they do best.
