Description

“It is the nature of our profession to be flexible, because our roles can change,” explains longtime PA and educator Dr. Kevin Lohenry. Physician assistants have had the chance to showcase that flexibility during the pandemic, quickly adjusting and moving into COVID-related roles like ICU support and vaccine efforts. In this episode of Raise the Line, learn about Dr. Lohenry's career path from the military to medicine to education, and why he thinks being a PA is such a great career in terms of impact on others and work-life balance. Listen in as Dr. Lohenry and host Dr. Rishi Desai discuss teamwork, how the approach to teaching critical thinking skills has changed over the years, and how COVID has served as a wake-up call on the need to address systemic racism. “If we don't invest heavily in a different kind of educational process to allow for equity among all peoples, I think we're hurting ourselves.” Tune in to find out more about his perspective on this, and why he advises students to stick initially with a single interest or organization.
