The cornerstone of the National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Research Program is building a large group of participants who reflect the diversity of the country – and a diverse community of researchers. Through the program, PAs can access a robust data set and other research tools.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) presents both a significant challenge for patients and an enormous opportunity for providers. Many PAs in other specialties play a role in treating their patients who have CKD. Practicing in nephrology gives clinicians a solid foundation in medicine.
PAs Wesley Patterson and Laura Buch use genetics and precision medicine to tailor treatment plans for patients that will maximize their potential and prolong their lives. The NIH’s All of Us Research Program has a similar goal.
Across specialties, PAs have reported challenges with providing nutritional recommendations to patients with diabetes, those undergoing surgery, and the elderly. New highly interactive learning activities featuring animations, videos, and downloadable content provide insights into nutritional management for patients.
The American Diabetes Association® is offering free CME to PAs and other healthcare professionals. Making Diabetes Technology Work is a nine-part CME series on modern insulin delivery systems, with faculty co-chairs Dr. Joseph Aloi of Wake Forest School of Medicine and Dr. Samar Hafida of Harvard Medical School.
CDC is requesting that PAs and other vaccine providers encourage vaccine recipients to register in v-safe, CDC's new after vaccination health checker. CDC relies on PAs to recommend v-safe because they are a trusted point of contact with patients.
Last spring the Colorado Academy of PAs (CAPA) hosted a variety of programs to share information with its members about the NIH’s All of Us Research Program. Here, CAPA Director-at-Large Kendra Glassman, PA-C, RD, responds to questions about the program.
In recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day, Sept. 10, we’d like to remind you that PAs are not immune to mental health issues nor suicidal ideations, attempts, or completions. Although there are barriers to seeking treatment, there are resources available to you.
