Courtney, PA-C, EMT-P
Blogger and Owner of EmpoweredPAs.com
Began by writing a blog about the PA profession and quickly realized there was a great need for information and discussion on real world PA topics in leadership, work-life balance, evidence based practice, hospital politics and so many others. As a result, a website by a PA and for PAs was developed!
