Urgent Care Physician Assistant Resume Example
I am a highly motivated, dedicated and compassionate Physician Assistant providing primary care and acute care services to patients in Urgent and Primary care settings over the past 13 years. I am dedicated to providing quality care to each patient I encounter. My approach to patient care is to make sure each patient has felt listened to and their needs addressed in a respectful and caring manner.
I also bring an extensive background in social and mental health services. Prior to attending PA school I worked as a social service coordinator and discharge planner in a rehabilitation center and as a community case worker at Columbia River Mental Health. Both positions allowed me the opportunity to work as part of a multidisciplinary team. I also gained experience in conducting psychosocial and mental health evaluations, client and family counseling, treatment planning, community outreach and resource coordination.
