Becoming a physician assistant (PA) is attracting a growing number of health practitioners, and its appeal is gaining a lot of attention: According to a study by U.S. News & World Report, the physician assistant (PA) profession is now ranked as the second-best health care job* and the fourth-best STEM job in its 2024 rankings – as well as an impressive #5 spot among the 100 Best Jobs, across all occupations.
The PA ranking was also informed in part by Bureau of Labor Statistics most recent projections that the PA profession would experience a nearly 26.5 percent increase in employment between 2022 and 2032, a rate that is faster than most occupations both in and out of the health care sector.
CME for Family Medicine PAs
From our viewpoint at Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts, we’re not surprised: We see every day what attracts so many of our CME Conference attendees to family medicine PA practices, as they address a wide variety of health issues, and build long-lasting and trusting relationships with patients’ families along the way.
Providing that kind of comprehensive health care across all ages, genders, diseases, and body parts is a unique daily work experience, and we love supporting family medicine physicians, PAs, nurse practitioners (NPs) and registered nurses (RNs) through education and CME. In fact, we often hear family practice clinicians touting our wide variety and all-encompassing curricula covering dermatology, orthopedics, cardiology and emergency medicine, women’s health, pain management & pharmacology, and diabetes at our in-person CME Conferences and Online CME.
We don’t provide surface knowledge, however: Our full-day CME sessions focus on a different specialty, ensuring that each gets the focus and “deep dive” it deserves.
“Instead of multiple speakers touching broadly on a topic,” Nisha McKenzie, PA-C, CSC, NCMP, IF speaker said, “Skin Bones’ CME features one expert for each body system – giving numerous invaluable pearls and pitfalls along the way and answering nagging questions.”
