    301: [UNICORN] Caring for Our Youngest Patients - A Conversation with a NICU PA

    Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a Neonatal PA? Have you dreamed of working in the NICU but don’t know where to start? My guest today is here to answer all those questions and more! Lex Mastro is a Neonatal PA and currently the Division of Newborn Medicine Advanced Practice Provider Supervisor and Associate Director of the Advanced Practice Provider Neonatology Fellowship Program. After graduating PA school, Lex initially worked in a surgical subspeciality but then found a passion for neonatology.

We also discuss how to become comfortable as a provider in complex, high risk situations as well as the importance of emotional intelligence. Lex and I also talk about how providers can improve healthcare access and address healthcare disparities so that we can provide better care to our patients.  I’m excited to share this episode so you can learn not only what it’s like to be a NICU PA, but also how to improve your own practice, whatever specialty that may be.  SPONSORS AAPA Job Source: aapa.org/pajobsource Freed AI [DISCOUNT CODE: PA50] https://www.getfreed.ai CONNECT WITH LEX LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandra-lex-mastro-712095341 RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE  Association of Postgraduate Physician Assistant Programs (APPAP) https://www.appap.org/ 2024 March of Dimes Report Card https://www.marchofdimes.org/report-card Social media kit for 2024 report card: https://socialpresskit.com/march-of-dimes#march-of-dimes-report-card-2024 Full Report Card: https://www.marchofdimes.org/sites/default/files/2024-11/2024_MOD_Report_Card_and_Policy_Actions_Booklet_V1.pdf Abbreviated Card in English: https://www.marchofdimes.org/sites/default/files/2024-11/US_Report_Card_2024_English.pdf Social Determinants of Health Resources https://odphp.health.gov/healthypeople https://odphp.health.gov/healthypeople/priority-areas/social-determinants-health Health Center Resources https://bphc.hrsa.gov/about-health-center-program/what-health-center Find a Health Center: https://findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov/ COACHING ⁠1-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   LINKS ⁠TRACY ON INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/mrstracybingaman/⁠ ⁠TRACY ON LINKEDIN https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracybingaman/⁠ SUPPORT THIS PODCAST: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thepaisin/support

    297: [UNICORN] Let's Talk About Sex!

    Today on the show we’re talking all things S-E-X. How comfortable do you feel discussing sex and sexual health with your patients? Have you even considered these conversations if you work in a speciality like cardiology or rheumatology? Where do you even start? My guest today is Aleece Fosnight, a PA with experience in urology, gynecology, pelvic health, gender affirming care, sexual medicine, and sexuality counseling. In 2020, she opened her own private practice, the Fosnight Center for Sexual Health, in Asheville, NC to provide a bio-psycho-social approach to sexual health. Sexuality and sexual health is integral to our overall health and well-being. We all deserve to have high-functioning sexual health. As medical providers, we have the opportunity to guide patients along this journey.  If you don’t talk about sex with your patients, are you really providing holistic care? Show patients you care about them as a whole person by discussing their sexual health concerns in a positive and supportive manner. Aleece walks us through how to have these conversations and how we can negate the shame and stigma many feel around sex.  SPONSORS AAPA Job Source: aapa.org/pajobsource LMNT Electrolyte Drink Mix: http://elementallabs.refr.cc/default/u/tracybingaman CONNECT WITH ALEECE Website: https://fosnightcenter.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fosnightcenter https://www.instagram.com/sexmedpa LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aleece-fosnight-85646375 RESOURCES International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health: https://www.isswsh.org Sexual Medicine Society of North America: https://www.smsna.org COACHING ⁠1-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   LINKS EPISODE BLOG POST https://www.tracybingaman.com/blog ⁠TRACY ON INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/mrstracybingaman/⁠ ⁠TRACY ON LINKEDIN https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracybingaman/⁠ SUPPORT THIS PODCAST: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thepaisin/support
