  • I’m unpacking my biggest career regrets. Things about my career as a physician assistant (now physician associate) that I’ve never shared before.It’s easy to look back and think, “If I had only known then what I know now, I could have made smarter choices.” But here’s the thing: regrets don’t have to define you. Instead, they can be powerful tools for growth and learning. By reflecting on what didn’t work or what could have been better, we can help others avoid the same mistakes—and in turn, set them up for success.SPONSORS⁠⁠⁠CREATED COLORFUL CONSULT⁠: ⁠https://createdcolorful.myshopify.com/discount/TRACY⁠ AAPA CAREER CENTRAL: https://www.aapa.org/careercentral COACHING⁠1-ON-1 NEGOTIATION CONSULT ⁠https://calendly.com/the-pa-is-in/negotiate⁠⁠ ⁠FREE 30-MINUTE COACHING CONSULT⁠ ⁠⁠https://calendly.com/the-pa-is-in/gen-call⁠ ⁠ LINKSEPISODE BLOG POST ⁠https://www.tracybingaman.com/blog⁠⁠TRACY ON INSTAGRAM ⁠https://www.instagram.com/mrstracybingaman/⁠⁠⁠TRACY ON LINKEDIN ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracybingaman/⁠⁠

  • In PA school we learned the first treatment to almost every disease is lifestyle modifications. But why do we wait until a patient receives a diagnosis instead of being proactive about starting lifestyle modifications earlier? How do we actually help patients follow through with making effective lifestyle modifications? What do we do if we know we need to make changes in our own lifestyles?

    My guest today is here to answer these questions and more! Dr. Jennifer Harrington is a PA with 25 years of experience and has held pivotal roles in professional leadership, advocacy, and PA education. She worked in rural medicine for many years and is now a PA program director, following her passion for education. She also runs her own non-profit, Called to Serve, organizing medical missions trips.

    Dr. Harrington shares how she was able to prevent burnout by creating routines and habits that focus on nutrition and quality self care. In order to effectively carry out her several roles and responsibilities, Dr. Harrington discusses how she learned the importance of taking care of herself so that she can better take care of others.

  • I love to highlight Unicorn PAs, especially PAs who are working in rarer, unique specialities. My guest today absolutely fits that bill! Paige Grasso is a surgical PA working in transplant and hepatobiliary surgery. Paige shares what life is like as a transplant surgery PA and how she got started in this unique speciality.

    We also discuss what every clinician (regardless of specialty) needs to know about patients who’ve received an organ transplant, specifically in regards to immunosuppression therapy.

    In addition, Paige and I talk about interviewing for a new job, whether you’re a new grad or a seasoned PA. What should you ask about when interviewing and what is important to look for during the orientation period of a new job?

    Tune in to hear Paige’s unique perspective as a transplant surgery PA and how you can apply some of these pearls to your own practice. Join in Paige’s excitement of “doing what no one else is doing” in this niche specialty at the intersection of surgery and medicine.

  • I am so excited to share today’s guest, PA Tara Cross. Tara currently works as an orthopedic PA but also runs her own business teaching wilderness medicine of all levels. From teaching lay people basic first aid and CPR to running advanced life support courses for PAs and paramedics, Tara loves to share her knowledge of wilderness medicine and safety.

    In today’s episode, Tara tells us what to do if we encounter an emergency outside the walls of our hospital or clinic. She details what we should have on hand to be prepared for an emergency, whether we’re hiking the backcountry or at our kid’s soccer game. Tara discusses the basics everyone should know and how to adjust our mindset from waiting for CT or ultrasound results to using the limited resources we have on hand to triage the situation and stabilize the patient.

  • We’re kicking off a new series all about back to money basics with this episode on the podcast. Joining me as a special guest for this series is my very own virtual assistant, Sarah Miller. Sarah is a critical care PA, a VA, and also a finance guru. Sarah shares how and why she became a VA as well as how a strong foundation in money management allowed her the financial freedom to make different decisions regarding her career and family. She was able to make decisions based on her values and what worked best for her family, not solely based on money.

    We want you to also have that financial freedom. To be able to make decisions based on your values and what’s important to you, not based only on finances. We want you to choose your job, where you live, how you raise your children, what kinds of vacations you go on, etc based on what you want, not only on the cost associated.

    Financial freedom brings you choices, time freedom, and the ability to create the life you love. Let’s dig into the basics of money so that you, too, can build a solid financial foundation for your future.

  • Have you ever had a personal medical diagnosis or event happen in your life that initially felt like a huge barrier or burden? You didn’t know how you would move past it or learn to live with this barrier in your life. That’s initially how today’s guest, Dane Thomas, felt when he was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult 10 years into his PA career.

    But Dane didn’t let his ADHD diagnosis be a detriment to his PA practice or his personal life. Dane found ways to harness his ADHD tendencies to use them as a superpower so that he could be an incredible PA and person. Dane embraced what he initially perceived to be a weakness in order to develop his diagnosis into a strength.

    Tune in today’s episode as Dane and I discuss how everyone with mental health issues and learning disabilities have the capacity to achieve great things in their lives. By changing our mindset and utilizing our personality traits in different ways, we can harness what can initially be perceived as a detriment into a strength. Listen in as we discuss how learning to be adaptable and flexible can create positive changes in our own lives, which can be reflected in taking better care of our patients.

  • 75% of American adults are overweight or obese. With that statistic, we will definitely treat overweight or obese patients, regardless of our specialties. But how do we discuss weight with our patients? Many PAs feels nervous about discussing a patient’s weight and don’t know how to approach what can be a very sensitive and emotionally-charged topic.

    That’s why I have Elena Sullivan on the podcast today to lead a masterclass in talking about obesity with compassion. Elena has been working as a PA in obesity and lifestyle medicine for 4 years. She shares how to focus on longitudinal whole person care with our patients. Elena defines weight bias and stigma, and how we can identify our own biases in order to best care for our patients.

    I learned so much from my conversation with Elena on the best ways to discuss obesity, weight loss and health with my patients, and also how to apply these tools to my own life. But my biggest takeaway from Elena’s masterclass on obesity? Elena believes that the biggest weight one can lose is that of others’ opinions and criticism of our own selves.
