EM Physician Assistant – Program Info

Welcome to the Einstein Medical Center and the Emergency Medicine PA Residency Program. We are very proud to be part of the growing interest in Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant (PA) Residency Programs in the country and would like to share with you some of our program’s distinguished attributes.

Our vibrant urban setting, affords us the opportunity to care for a diverse and challenging patient population presenting with various medical needs. Because Einstein houses a Level I Trauma Center, our residents frequently treat trauma patients with multiple and severe injuries while working closely with other disciplines including surgery and orthopedics. Some of the many resources available while working in the emergency department include: advanced airway management equipment, comprehensive emergency ultrasound, and active cardiac catheterization lab, and a dedicated radiology suite with a dedicated CT scanner.

However, it is not only by virtue of our location and outstanding facilities that our residents are provided assorted advanced learning and training opportunities throughout their tenure here. Via weekly conferences and various other forums, our residents receive specialized training in areas not offered in other residency programs. These advanced skill and knowledge-base building opportunities allow our residents to become uniquely qualified to assume increasing responsibility within the ED and, ultimately, to become comfortable managing patients, including the critically ill, simultaneously.

Additionally, our residents are fortunate to receive hands on mentoring by some of the country’s most distinguished leaders in emergency medicine. In fact, many of our current staff have received special recognition for their outstanding work; conducted national presentations; contributed to and written chapters in nationally recognized textbooks, such as Emergency Airway Management, Tintinalli, Roberts and Hedges; Rosen’s; and the EMRA Antibiotic Guide – now distributed to approximately 20,000 residents, medical students, and faculty nationwide. Several of our PA’s and attending’s hold leadership positions within the hospital. Our PA Residency Director functions as the Clinical Manager of the PAs in staffing our three emergency departments, she is a member of the AAPA, has served on the Board of Directors of SEMPA (Society of Emergency Medicine Physician Assistants), and is an adjunct professor at Philadelphia University and Drexel University’s PA Programs. Our Medical Director is Maria Halluska-Handy, who is the Assistant Residency Director for the EM-physician residency training program and she is an American College of Emergency Physicians Teaching Fellow. She received her medical degree from the Medical College of Pennsylvania-Hahnemann University School of Medicine and completed her residency training at Drexel University College of Medicine. Undoubtedly, the rich inter-disciplinary collaboration and our dedication to ongoing professional development, which are integral parts of our program philosophy, truly make our PA residency program one to emulate.

We know that many factors will influence your decisions in choosing the program that is right for you. We are confident that Einstein offers the diversity, challenge, training, staff, and geography like no other program can provide. We wish you the best of luck as you enter this exciting time in your professional development and look forward to meeting you during the interview process.

ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to provide postgraduate Physician Assistants the opportunity to advance their knowledge, skills, and competency beyond primary care. The Orthopaedic Surgery Physician Assistant Fellowship Program (OSPAF) is committed to providing superior postgraduate didactic and clinical training to Physician Assistants who desire specialized careers in orthopaedic surgery. This signature program provides an intense and holistic blend of learning opportunities that ensure the success of the participants as orthopaedic surgical assistants and as providers of orthopaedic care in a clinical setting. PA fellows are exposed to all aspects and subspecialties within orthopaedics.

OSPAF is a joint effort of Arrowhead Regional Medical Center’s Orthopedic Care Center and Arrowhead Orthopaedics. The OSPAF program is an intensive clinical and didactic training experience with an emphasis in orthopaedic emergency and trauma.

VISION STATEMENT

The Fellow will gain competency in evaluation and treatment of trauma patients, orthopaedic office procedures, evaluation and management of outpatient orthopaedic patients, and will assist surgeons in orthopaedic procedures. In addition to the 250 operative cases performed monthly by the Orthopaedic Department, we also have daily outpatient clinics that average 1,200 patient appointments per month.

The OSPAF program is a full-time twelve-month training program that requires an average of 70 hours per week of operative, clinical and emergency room based work. The program offers a certificate of completion with up to fifty CME credits authorized through the American Academy of PAs (AAPA). In addition, a benefit package including a stipend, health insurance, textbooks, meal allowance, and vacation is provided.

The Orthopaedic staff consists of thirteen full-time, board-certified Orthopaedic Surgeons with sub-specialties in the following areas: hand and upper extremity, pediatrics, spine, lower extremity, total joint replacement, sports medicine, orthopaedic trauma, foot and ankle. We offer 2 classes per year. The fall class starts in October and the Spring class starts in April of each year. Each class is preceded with three weeks of supervised orientation. Applications are accepted year-round with interviews being held in January and June.

PROGRAM HISTORY

The program was conceived and implemented by Dr. Kenneth Mudge and Ms. Debbie Winberry, PA-C, at the original San Bernardino County Hospital. The program was maintained and transitioned into the new county facility known as Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in 1999. The first graduating class of the OSPAF program was in 1995. So far, the program has graduated more than 30 classes. Program graduates are highly sought after by orthopedic practices across the country. Arrowhead Orthopaedics remains committed to providing superior sub-specialty orthopaedic services in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. The OSPAF program is but one example of the group’s commitment to excellence through postgraduate training of Physician Assistants to prepare graduates to function as Orthopaedic Specialists.
