Episode 2: Now You Are in Practice — Who Decides What You Get to Do?

Starting your first job as a PA is exciting — but navigating the rules that define your practice can be complex. In this episode of Ready, Set, Practice, we’re joined by Dr. Megan Fulton, System Executive Director of the APP Best Practice Center at MUSC Health. Dr. Fulton breaks down the key factors that influence what PAs can do in clinical practice, from federal and state laws to facility policies and insurance regulations. She’ll also share strategies for self-advocacy and professional growth, ensuring new PAs understand not just their scope of practice, but how to shape it for the future.

In addition to her executive leadership role, Dr. Fulton is a professor at the MUSC PA program, a primary care clinician, and the Legislative Chair for SCAPA. She’s eager to share valuable insights to help new PAs navigate and thrive in their clinical careers.
