Happy PA Week! Every year from October 6th-12th we celebrate our profession! National PA Day is October 6th and is also the birthday of the founder of our profession, Dr. Eugene Stead, Jr.
This Year…
This year has been tough, but I have to say, I couldn’t be MORE PROUD of our profession. PAs have really stepped up and shown our versatility in the face of a pandemic. We have pivoted into different roles, changed departments and specialties, and really shown our true colors. We are HERE for our patients whenever and wherever we are needed.
This year the blog looks a little different too. I haven’t been the posting machine I wanted to be. The stress of a sick parent, uncertain financial states, working in the ER during a pandemic while also helping with online learning, and the constant change has been hard. Personally, I’ve been working on my own self-care, prioritizing my mental and physical health over the work for EmpoweredPAs. It’s been hard to let some things go, but it’s been important.
With that said, this will be the only post for the week so I wanted to share some resources! And pssst, there are GIVEAWAYS posted below!
Happy PA Week!
