A new class of health profession-als are working in hospitals and family practices across Ontario

following the completion of their train-ing through McMaster University’s phy-sician assistant education program.

Twenty-one graduates received their Bachelor of Health Sciences (Physician Assistant) degrees during convocation ceremonies Nov. 19, 2010.

The new breed of health-care work-ers, who work directly under the super-vision of a physician, are now employed in range of specialties including emer-gency medicine, family medicine, inter-nal medicine, critical care and orthoped-ic surgery at hospitals and health care centres from Windsor to Ottawa.

“Our physician assistant graduates are exceptional ambassadors of this new profession,” said Dr. John Cunnington, assistant dean of the physician assistant program.

“Through their commitment to excel-lence and collaborative care, they have positioned themselves as essential mem-bers of today’s interprofessional health-care teams. Their McMaster foundation in problem-based, small-group learning will serve them well as they move for-ward in their careers.”

Employment opportunities for phys-ician assistant (PA) graduates were announced this past summer by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The ministry provided grants to support the hiring of PAs as part of an overall strategy to reduce wait times and improve access to patient care in high-need areas.

“The physician assistant role is one of several new roles we have introduced as part of our government’s collabora-tive Health Human Resources Strategy,” said Deb Matthews, Ontario’s Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. “I’m pleased to support these graduates and look forward to further expanding this valuable patient care role.”

Ohood Elzibak, a 23-year-old Hamiltonian and McMaster alumna, was drawn to the PA program out of her desire to work in a clinical setting and pioneer a new role in health care.

“I felt very confident going down this route,” she said. “I felt like this was the right role for me, and I knew I needed to explore that.

“It’s been a phenomenal two years. You develop a really close relation-ship with your classmates, the facilita-tors and the staff. We were all in this together. It was a new experience for everyone.”

During her clerkship year, Elzibak discovered a passion for the intense, fast-paced operating room environment during a two-month rotation with Dr. Ivan Wong, an orthopedic surgeon at Hamilton Health Sciences. Elzibak was hired by Wong as the first physician assistant member of his surgical team.

Wong, an assistant professor of surgery at McMaster, had previously worked with PAs during his fellowship training in the United States. Physician

assistants have been part of the U.S. health-care system since the 1960s.

In Canada, the health-care workers have been employed by the Canadian military for several decades. They were introduced into the civilian health care system in 2007 through a joint initia-tive between the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and the Ontario Medical Association. PAs also train at the University of Toronto and the University of Manitoba.

“In the future, I see just about every orthopedic surgeon working with PAs, and sometimes multiple ones,” Wong said. “In the United States, it’s already been shown many times that PAs improve the cost-effectiveness of practice, increase patient care as well as patient satisfaction.”

Mark MacLeod, president of the Ontario Medical Association, also reflected that sentiment in a statement that congratulated the graduates and commended the introduction of the new PA role and the impact it will have on health care.

“Ontario’s doctors are long time supporters of PAs,” he said. “PAs are valuable contributors to our health care system because Ontario’s doctors know that when all health care providers work together, patients benefit from an enhanced level of care.

Physician assistants are health-care professionals who work under the supervision of doctors to provide care. PAs take histories, conduct physical examinations, order and interpret tests, diagnose and treat illnesses, counsel on preventive health care and may assist in surgery, depending on the specialty of their supervising physician. A PA’s practice may also include education, research and administration.

Launched in September 2008, McMaster’s consecutive 24-month pro-gram was founded upon the problem-based learning model of the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine. The first year of study focuses on the clinical sci-ences supporting health-care delivery. In the second year, PA students rotate

through clinical placements.The inaugural physician assistant

class of 21 students was selected from a pool of more than 250 applicants. The students came from diverse back-grounds including paramedic practice, social work, genetics, epidemiology, journalism and engineering.

In addition to all completing the

program, the inaugural PA graduates have also successfully transitioned to employment in Ontario.

IPIC Education - Courses For Nurses on the Move!

There is no magic bullet to revitalizing your nursing career. However, one new thought or a new encounter could impact you and set you on a new course of discovery. IPIC Education and Counselling Services offer nurses, though uniquely created education courses, just such an opportunity.

An OASIS Leadership Retreat for Nurses is a weekend retreat like none other. In a relaxed, picturesque setting, nurses will gather to learn, contemplate, network and dialogue about issues affecting nurses in all workplace settings. So often, it isn’t until we leave our daily living/working environment that we gain a perspective on what we need to reassess in our lives. This is an event not to be missed!

Perhaps you long for a retreat type experience but want to leave behind your nursing career and bring along your friend, colleague or sister. We offer a Weekend Retreat for Women of Faith which will explore the theme of Women as Peacemakers with insightful discussions, opportunities for quiet reflection and lots of laughter and fun.

Engaging Nurses in Positive Leadership and Nurse Entrepreneurship: A Commitment to Excellence are one – day nursing conferences that are held back to back so that those desiring to attend both days may do so. Whether you are well-established in your workplace setting or looking for a change, each confer-ence has something to offer nurses on the move.

Fostering healthy communities through Christ’s healing ministry

InterChurch Health Ministries

Canada

InterChurch Health Ministries Canada (ICHM) is an ecumenical organization

committed to the development of healthy communities through parish nursing ministry. Parish Nursing Ministry is a recent innovation in both professional nursing practice and congregational ministry that provides an interdisciplin-ary approach to health promotion and community support. Without duplicat-ing services, this innovation involves a model of community development which links the health care delivery system and faith communities by the addition of a parish nurse to the ministry team of a congregation. ICHM’s Parish Nurs-ing Ministry Education Program equips parish nurses, parishioners and clergy to engage in health promotion strategies which address all aspects of the person - body, mind and spirit - by combin-ing nursing knowledge and theological insight within a faith system. In their ministry, congregations are encouraged to engage with their local communities. ICHM is interested in focusing on the link between faith and health, not only for congregations, but for society as a whole. Each partner congregation uniquely identifies the services and programs that will be provided through the use of a needs assessment questionnaire. The saying goes: “Once you’ve seen one

parish nursing ministry, you’ve seen one parish nursing ministry”. The gifts that parish nurses bring to their particular context always give expression to a unique ministry in that “parish”. How-ever, the roles of the parish nurse are quite specific:

faith as a resource contributing to wholeness

enabling programs focused on a wide variety of healthcare needs

-ing people to become more aware of healthy choices

healthcare resources in the community

every person’s need is met

volunteers to become involved in the health and healing ministry of the congregation

Health Care Careers Offers Satisfaction and Jobs

“About 26 percent of all new jobs created in the U.S. economy will be in the health-care and social assistance,” according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In addition, the Bureau reports health care will generate 4 million new jobs. More than one million new and replacement nurses will be needed by then with registered nurses comprising one of the largest segments of the U. S. workforce as a whole.

Always at the forefront of health care education is D’Youville College in Buffalo where they have been providing education in this vital �eld since the 1940s. Beginning with a well-regarded nursing program in the 1940s, the college has added a myriad of new majors in this needed �eld and today has an international reputation for quality education and for providing well-educated professions nationwide.

Today, D’Youville not only offers undergraduate and graduate programs in Nursing but also Pharmacy, Physical and Occupational Therapy, Physician Assistant, Dietetics, Chiropractic, and Health Care Administration as well as a doctoral program in Health Policy and Health Education.

Graduate programs in a number of the above areas such as Occupational and Physical Therapy, Nursing, and Chiropractic can be taken separately or combined with the undergraduate portion of a student’s education. D’Youville also offers pre-dental, pre-med, pre-veterinarian programs.

The median annual earning of registered nurses is in the $62,000 range, physical therapists: $72,700, physician assistants: $81,200, occupational therapists: $66,780, dietitians: $50,590, chiropractors: $66,490. (Bureau of Labor Statistics)

The doctoral degree program in health policy and health education emphasizes applied research and �exibility as candidates focus on the changing context of healthcare and innovations in the education of healthcare professionals. To make it convenient for working practitioners, courses in this program are offered during the evening and weekends in the fall, spring, and summer semester..

An Exercise and Sports Studies program prepares students for a wide array of sports connected careers.

A direct entry program that allows students entry to their selected programs in their freshman year, small classes and an intimate and friendly campus make D’Youville a popular choice.
