I discovered the career of being a PA when I started to receive excellent care from my own Family Medicine PA-C as a patient in high school. Soon after, I learned of College of Saint Mary\u2019s new 5-year Physician Assistant program and never looked back. I never want to stop learning and growing in my career and this was the most ideal avenue to pursue that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What made you want to work at the Department of Psychiatry?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was fortunate enough to have one of my psychiatric rotations at Poynter Hall with Mark Aksamit, PA-C, and Kelly Gassman, PA-C, and quickly realized that I never wanted my rotation to end. Making connections with my colleagues and knowing I have several avenues to grow as a PA-C here makes it easy to feel like I&#8217;m not actually working and just doing something that I love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are your duties in the Department of Psychiatry?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have the privilege of seeing my own patients in the General Adult Outpatient Clinic and I\u2019m also a provider in the new subspecialty of Intellectual\/Developmental Disabilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How has you seen the PA division grow during your time at Nebraska Medicine?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was part of the increase of hiring for APPs in our department, and it has been a great&nbsp;experience for all of us to expand our expertise as individual providers but also learn as a collective unit with having each other for support. I would trust my own care or my family&#8217;s care with any of our APPs. I\u2019m lucky to be part of our wonderful team!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are some of your hobbies?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of work, you can find me reading novels, running, biking, spending time with my family and three nieces, or playing Nintendo!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Physician Assistant, Adult Zoe was born and raised in Omaha.
