253: [UNICORN] Direct Primary Care - The Future of Healthcare? Apr 04, 2024

Show notes

When you graduated PA school and started working your first job as a PA-C, were you surprised by the significant role insurance companies played in dictating how you can treat your patients? Do you feel frustrated by our current healthcare system and how it focuses more on sick patients than on keeping patients healthy? Do you spend most of your time as a Primary Care PA completing insurance prior authorizations and fighting what seems like a never-ending battle to actually care for your patients?

Well look no further. My guest today is PA Julia Harris, who is here to explain all about the Direct Primary Care model of healthcare. Now that she works in Direct Primary Care, Julia doesn’t need to worry about insurance companies dictating how much time she can spend with her patients or what visits and treatments will be reimbursed. Julia can focus on what really matters in medicine and why she became a PA in the first place - helping patients become the healthiest versions of themselves. Julia can focus on wellness and creating real connections with her patients.

Listen in to learn more about Direct Primary Care and how it could be the new face of healthcare.

251: [UNICORN] How to Discuss Weight and Improve Nutrition with Patients Mar 21, 2024

Show notes

Let’s face it - PA school didn’t prepare us for in-depth, detailed discussions about nutrition with our patients. Formal nutrition training is profoundly lacking in medical school and PA school. We’re told to recommend lifestyle modifications to our patients, but then move on to the next lesson. How do we cross this divide so that we can provide our patients with the support, education, and resources that they need? That’s where today’s guest comes in!

Colleen Sloan is a PA and Registered Dietician. She explains the difference between a dietician and a nutritionist and when it’s beneficial to refer patients to a registered dietician. Colleen goes into detail on how PAs can address weight and nutrition in an office visit, including questions to ask both your adult and pediatric patients. Listen in to hear the dos and don’ts of how to respectfully cover a very sensitive topic. As a bonus, Colleen also gives us actionable tips on how we as busy clinicians can improve our own nutrition.

250: [WORK] From Burnout to Thriving: Navigating Career Sustainability in Healthcare Mar 14, 2024

Show notes

Tackle the critical and often overlooked topic of career sustainability versus burnout in the healthcare sector. How healthcare professionals can shift from the brink of burnout to a path of long-term career fulfillment and sustainability.

With the alarming rates of professional exhaustion affecting 60-90% of healthcare providers, it's time to spotlight the brighter side of the coin: career sustainability. It’s not just about survival; it's about thriving in your healthcare career by fostering resilience, balance, and satisfaction.

Burnout is characterized by feelings of exhaustion, disillusionment, and overwhelm, but career sustainability offers a lifeline. It's about creating a career that is resilient, rewarding, and aligned with your values, interests, and strengths.

To guide you on this journey, we introduce the Clinician Career Sustainability Quiz [https://www.tracybingaman.com/sustainability], a tool designed to help you assess your current career trajectory and identify steps towards sustainability.

We cover ten critical questions that delve into aspects of job enjoyment, schedule flexibility, growth opportunities, health, pay, workplace culture, and more. This episode provides actionable insights and strategies to help you navigate challenges and seize opportunities for growth, ensuring your career not only sustains you but allows you to flourish.

248: [MONEY] Emergency Fund 101 - Back to Financial Basics Feb 29, 2024

Show notes

What is an emergency fund? Who needs funds set aside for job loss, injury, or emergencies? How much money do I need in my emergency fund? Where is the best place to keep emergency funds? A money market? A high yield savings account? And do I really need an emergency fund? Yes, you definitely should have emergency savings as both a priority in your financial life and a short-term money goal. Aim to have at least 3 months of expenses saved in the next 2-6 months.

247: [UNICORN] Stop Asking for Permission: Think Bigger and Bolder Feb 22, 2024

Show notes

On today’s podcast, I have the honor of speaking with former president of AAPA and current CMO and VP of Clinical Affairs of AAPA, Jennifer Orozco. We discuss advocacy, making an impact, and how to get a seat at the table.

Jenn stresses the importance of removing barriers to PA practice because healthcare can’t afford to keep these barriers. PAs are experts in their fields and need to share their knowledge, experience and expertise with policy makers and those in leadership making decisions. Every PA has a powerful voice, and Jenn outlines ways in which we can start taking action today.

We don’t need to ask for permission to share our ideas or opinions. We need to think bigger than just our own clinic and our own hospital system. We need to be bold in sharing our expertise so that we can make positive changes in healthcare.

Press play to hear inspiration and a call to action so that we can keep moving the PA profession and the American healthcare system forward in a positive direction.

246: [WORK] 4 Strategies to INSULATE Yourself From Work to Fully UNPLUG and Live Today Feb 15, 2024

Show notes

Your inbasket (or your email inbox)... whether you love it, hate it, or love to hate it, it’s a part of practicing medicine in the 21st century. Listen, we know that technology can make taking care of patients easier, but it also can mean that we are constantly feeling distracted by all the pings and dings of our devices.

As we launch into a new year, it’s important to see how our boundaries are doing. Are these boundaries effective to keep work at work and let us focus on and live our lives outside the bounds of working?

In this episode I’ll share what I’ve realized and share 4 practical strategies to leave work (yes, even charting and inbasket messages) at work so that YOU can create a healthy, clear and enforceable boundary. Press play to get started.
