SICKKIDS PEM PROCEDURAL SEDATION WORKSHOP When asked about our professional goals, Reem, Gabi and I all shared that performing procedural sedations was something we hoped to work towards one day. We were lucky enough to be sent to the SickKids workshop, and it was such a great learning experience! #physicianassistant #canadianphysicianassistant #canadianpa #pediatricemergency #nursepractitioner by @frenchiethepa

FIGS SUMMER DROP! Seaglass + Sea Mist These are the perfect colours for the peds emergency department! Can’t wait to bring sunshine with these cute sets. Also - I recently decided to go from a XL pants to XXL. I hesitated for a long time but then I realized - who cares what the tag says? What matters is that I’m comfy and confident! This change feels great - I carry a lot of my weight in my hips and thighs, so the XXL gives me room to move and not feel self conscious. I’ve also started wearing my Rafaela top untucked so it gives a baggier style and I love it! Models, colours and sizes on the reel :) My typical sizes in every day clothes are L/XL tops, XL/31 bottoms #wearfigs #figsambassador #bodypositivity #physicianassistant #pediatricemergency @figsambassador @wearfigs by @frenchiethepa
Why did I choose PA instead of MD? 🩺 Collaborative work with MD - I enjoy being able to work alongside a physician. This allows me to have a safety net - whenever I am uncertain about something or if I am concerned, I know I can rely on my colleague for support. I am happy that I don’t always have to make the final decision. Significantly shorter education program - I personally was not interested in doing 4 years of undergrad + 4 years of med school + 3-7 years of residency. Residency would be too difficult for me and my chronic hip pain - Now, this is a very personal reason as many people with disabilities go through med school/residency, and do so with great success. To me, I know my pain would significantly worsen if I had to work 80+ hours a week and it would make me miserable. Lateral mobility - As someone who has changed career three times in her adult life, I knew I would benefit from a profession that allows me to make changes over time! Being an employee with benefits - When I was a full-time professional photographer, I did not enjoy the business aspect of my job and missed the days where I would have a steady income with benefits. As a PA, I was able to choose a job where I would be an employee with benefits, paid vacation/sick days, and a pension plan. Chose to have a career change in my 30s - I was in my 30s when I realized I wanted to change careers from being a professional photographer & electrophysiology technologist. I personally did not want to go through several years of additional training & wanted to go back to the job market asap. There are people who initially want to be a physician and go down the path of PA instead. Others go through the PA program and later choose to go to med school. I chose the PA path and I am happy with the choice I made! —— Wearing @wearfigs Catarina top in XL, Uman bottoms in XLP and Sydney Scrub Jacket in XL 🩷 —— #physicianassistant #canadianphysicianassistant #canadianpa #wearfigs #figsambassador @figsambassador by @frenchiethepa
