170: [UNICORN] What’s it Like Being a Radiation Oncology PA? Joann Timberlake Tells All

There are less than 200 PAs working in the US in Radiation Oncology and Joann Timberlake is one of those. Starting a job in a new specialty, especially one so sparsely populated with PAs, is intimidating. Luckily Joann was willing to share with us how she broke into this role, transitioned out of the ER and into Rad Onc and what that process was like for her. I wanted to invite her on the podcast to share more about what her life is like now vs. when she was working shift work in the Emergency Department. There were growing pains with having to prove her abilities, that she is a trustworthy partner in the care of these cancer patients and the incredible value she can add to her Radiation Oncology physician partners. Joann aims to treat the entire patient; mind, body, spirit and soul in her practice and you aren’t going to want to miss her sharing her servant spirit and heart for patients and their excellent care.
