Happy Holidays in Vietnamese: Hạnh phúc ngày lễ SPECIAL HOLIDAY PAGE EDITION 4 What is a PA? A Physician Assistant (PA) is a medical professional who practices medicine on healthcare teams with physicians and other medical providers. PA’s practice directly under the supervision of a physician and have a close working relationship with their supervising physician. PA’s can work in a variety of settings including: hospitals, clinics, community health centers, nursing homes, academic facilities, retail clinics, correctional institutions, and federal government agencies. Information from: www.aapa.org OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS for a Physician Assistant Student Dr. Modupe Sokunbi has done it again! For the fifth year in a row she was voted Best Pediatrician of Nacogdoches, TX. Dr. Sokunbi, a long time preceptor for the UTMB Physician Assistant Studies' (PAS) students, received the award while precepting PA-S2 student Kolby Buckner. Kolby described his pediatric rotation with Dr. Sokunbi as “enlightening and rewarding”. Each day during their lunch hour, Dr. Sokunbi would have a common pediatric topic prepared to discuss with Kolby. This not only allowed for a strong preceptor/student relationship to develop, but it also provided Kolby with additional understanding of various pediatric topics. Kolby’s experiences at his pediatric rotation gave him a strong knowledge base and provided insight into the nuances that make a great provider. When asked why he thought Dr. Sokunbi was recognized as an exceptional physician, Kolby responded, “A high level of knowledge and skill is required to be a good healthcare provider, but a great provider cares deeply for their patient’s physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Dr. Sokunbi was an exceptional model of these attributes.” Kolby knows the high standards that have been set in both didactic and clinical courses in the PA program will prepare him to contribute to a successful practice and provide optimal care to future patients. “Experiences such as these are why UTMB has one of the largest and most prestigious Physician Assistant programs in the nation,” explained Kolby. The Best Pediatrician of Nacogdoches award was definitely well deserved! Dr. Sokunbi is not only a great pediatrician, but a great mentor and preceptor as well. Thank you and congratulations Dr. Sokunbi! Written by Kayla Bridges, PA Studies Fall Intern, Texas A&M University Happy Holidays in Italian: Buone Feste! Click on the present to make holiday crafts. SPECIAL HOLIDAY PAGE EDITION 5 Celebrating National Physician Assistant Week Away From UTMB Physician Assistant Studies (PAS) student, Priya Patel, celebrated National Physician Assistant (PA) Week while at her clinical rotation at South Texas Retina Consultants. During her rotation, Ms. Patel was precepted by Dr. Charles Campbell, an ophthalmologist who specializes in retinal surgery, and his PA, Eduardo Montemayor. It is rare to find a PA in such a subspecialized area of medicine, but Dr. Campbell saw the benefit of adding a PA to his treatment team. In fact, he has been so pleased with his PA that he is preparing an article with Mr. Montemayor and Ms. Patel about the benefits of PAs in the practice of ophthalmology. Ms. Patel was proactive in celebrating PA Week by bringing donuts and a Thank You card for Mr. Montemayor. The clinic celebrated PA Week by organizing a surprise potluck luncheon and displaying a “We love our PA” banner in the clinic. Ms. Patel described the celebration as, “Very moving to see that they really appreciate their PA.” In addition, this celebration initiated conversations related to the benefits of hiring more PAs in sub-specialized fields. Ms. Patel is complimentary of her clinical experience at South Texas Retina Consultants, stating, "This rotation solidified the passion I have for this profession and exemplified how PAs can make a difference. Knowing that physicians, office technicians, nurses, and patients show their appreciation towards the profession makes everything worth it.” Ms. Patel is even considering pursuing a career as a PA in the retina field.

SPECIAL HOLIDAY PAGE EDITION 6 National Physician Assistant Week 2014 at UTMB Physician Assistants (PAs) are recognized and honored annually during National Physician Assistant Week that is held from October 6 - 12. UTMB’s PAs were no exception this year. Physician Assistant Studies (PAS) Class of 2016 made PA Week a huge success at UTMB. A special thanks to The Class of 2016 officers who greatly contributed to an exciting 2014 National PA Week at UTMB: Tayler Thompson, Bency Abraham, Veronica Hernandez, Brandi Dyess, Chelsea Halbleib, Jessica Degwitz, Heidi Braun, Caitlin Lange and Zachary Gray. The Physician Assistant Class of 2016 started National PA Week with a bake sale, which gave PA students a chance to promote their profession to students and faculty on campus. Profits from the sale went to the Class of 2016, which is currently raising funds to establish a scholarship for the incoming Class of 2017. Class officers, Brandi Dyess and Chelsea Halbleib, highlighted PAs further by writing and submitting an article that promoted the PA profession, acknowledged the UTMB PAS faculty, and highlighted the Class of 2016 community outreach projects. The article appeared in: the Galveston County Daily News, Fall 2014 Splash Page, UTMB Broadcast Announcements, Student Life News and Notes, and the UTMB Facebook page. The article can be found at: http://www.utmb.edu/newsroom/article9978.aspx On Wednesday, October 8, the Class of 2016 officers delivered PA themed goody bags to several PAs employed by UTMB. Students wanted to say thank you to the clinically practicing PAs for their contribution to the profession. Over 30 goody bags were delivered to various UTMB locations and the PA recipients were thrilled. The Class of 2016 continued celebrating National PA Week on Thursday morning by hosting a PAS faculty breakfast. The breakfast gave students a chance to personally thank them for their hard work and dedication to the program and profession. During Thursday’s faculty hour, PAS faculty was further honored with a personalized presentation for each faculty member. The presentation was put together by the entire PAS Class of 2016 and presented by the class officers. “It was the most exciting PA Week I have experienced!” – Barbara Slusher, MSW, PA-C, Assistant Professor, UTMB PA Studies PA Week Summary: Written by Kayla Bridges, PA Studies Fall Intern, Texas A&M University 1) Bake Sale 2) The Galveston County Daily News Article 3) Goodies delivered to UTMB PA employees 4) Faculty breakfast 5) Presentation honoring faculty Physician Assistant Studies Class of 2016 celebrating National Physician Assistant Week in front of the School of Health Professions The Class of 2016 PA Studies class officers organized a great National PA week!
