In a world where advanced practice providers such as PAs are providing many of the initial consultations in all fields of medicine, Kristen is an example of an academically based PA who has specialized in the field of Endocrinology. She sits on the national board of Endocrine PA's and writes articles for their national journal. Most patients and practitioners cannot distinguish between her work and that of a doctor. She can't escape from her meticulous nature.
We are very happy to announce Kristen has been selected to be the incoming president of the American Society of Endocrine Physician Assistants for the 2017-2019 term.This will put her in a position to interact with the AACE-American Association of Clinical Endocrinolgist to really show the collaboration that can take place between MD's/DO's. This effort on a broad scale reflects the mentoring and collaboration that takes place in our small practice, though on a national level.
Recently, the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, sponsored an Endocrinology Review course for selected doctors finishing their Endocrinology Fellowship program and preparing to take their Endocrinology Board Exams. Along with letters of recommendations, only select fellows were offered to join this subsidized and prestigious review so that not any endocrine fellow could merely enroll in the course and pay the course fee. Spots were made available for two Endrocrine PAs to take the course alongside those doctors finishing their fellowships. Kristen was one of those two!
