Medical Provider of the Day: Volunteers NEEDED

Where:
Maine State Capitol in Augusta

What it is:
An opportunity for PAs to be recognized before the Maine State legislature for the important work we do and for our professions’ role within the healthcare industry. By increasing our presence we increase Legislators perceptions of us as healthcare leaders.

Previously “Doctor of the Day”, MMA and MOA have been staffing this role while the legislature is in session since 1996. This session they have expanded to include PAs and NPs. So we now need to cover 1/3 of the in-session shifts. 

• Ceremonially recognized in both chambers.
• On call, as pre-EMS responder for any medical emergencies that occur on campus during the legislative session.
  • House & Senate each have “go bags” with:
    • AED
    • BP Cuff and Stethoscope
    • Glucometer
    • Bandages
    • And much more
• Bring yourself, your cell and your lab coat (if you have one)!
