Hello Everyone,
I am new to the group but am very excited to see such an
organization in existence!
In March, I will be attending the Park City Conference and hope
to meet some of you there. Is there any specific organized time or
place where PAs typically gather for any informal discussion, meal,
ski, lecture, etc.? I will be taking the AWLS course while in Utah,
but hope to have time for other things as well.
A little bit about myself- I am a PA in Cardiothoracic Surgery
(prev. Orthopaedics) at Dartmouth in New Hampshire. Currently, I am
working on completing the 48- 4000footer list (I am on #24 this
weekend) and will(Lord willing) be summiting Mt Rainier with some
friends this summer. On the side of these pursuits, a group of
PAs/NPs at my facility are gathering next week for the purpose of
forming a charity hiking organization for our hospital called the
Healthy Heart Hiker Foundation. We hope to have 1 or 2 charity hikes/
year that with the addition of local corporate sponsorship will be
able to contribute to the new Cardiovascular "Center" at Dartmouth.
If any of you have any ideas to contribute in this project, I would
be very appreciative of your input. Hope to meet some of you in
Utah. Have a great week!
blessings,
pearce
