2 weeks ago
Our Mission at the Dufferin Area Family Health Team is to provide person-centered, dynamic and compassionate care. Working as a multidisciplinary team, connecting with other community organizations, and empowering each patient with the knowledge and tools to manage their health, all persons shall receive comprehensive health care. Our programs augment current services in our community and also provide opportunities for interdisciplinary teaching and learning.
Through the integration of Physician Assistant’s at the Dufferin Area Family Health Team, we improve the quality of care through enhanced access to medical services in a timely manner (particularly through same-day or next-day appointments), decrease wait times to see the physician, and create more time for the physician to devote to patients with complex medical issues. The Physician Assistant will work with a group of multiple physicians and operate under their supervision. While working with the physician, and a team of multi-disciplinary providers, your role will include but not be limited to:
- Providing primary care services to patients including acute and chronic disease management, preventative care, and well-woman and well child visits
- Performing certain acts under medical directives, delegated by the physicians
- Educating patients on health promotion and disease prevention
- Assisting the physician with management of complex patients
- Referrals to allied health professionals, for services outside of the Physician Assistant’s scope of practice, and
- Performing other duties within the competencies of a Physician Assistant.
All acts are conducted under the direction and supervision of a registered Physician, and in accordance with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario’s policy on delegation.
The Physician Assistant (PA) reports to, and is responsible to, the Executive Director. The supervising physician is responsible for the medical care provided to the patient by the PA and can only delegate medical acts that are within their own scope of clinical practice. The PA is not an autonomous health care provider, and cannot act as the principal medical decision maker.
