Alex is a PA with a Doctor of Medical Science degree working in family medicine in Utah. Alexâs doctorate research focused on implementing genetic testing in primary care. In practice, he has done this with hereditary cancer risk testing and pharmacogenetic testing.
In todayâs episode, Alex shares what he loves about working in primary care and gives actionable tips on how to thrive as a primary care provider. Alex also explained what the heck pharmacogenetics is and how he uses it to provide high quality care and early interventions with his patients. He also describes how he began working as an medical science liaison (MSL) in industry while still working as a family medicine PA.
I think my favorite part of our discussion was talking about how every medical provider can get their joy back when it comes to practicing medicine. Press play to learn how to find your passion for medicine again if youâve been feeling burned out.
