Corine Riedell, PA at Banyan Elementary "Career Day"

On June 1, 2012 Wilkes Family Medicine's Corine Riedell, PA spoke to groups of elementary school children at Banyan Elementary School's annual "Career Day" event. Corine shared with students what she loves most about her job (getting to know families and seeing the same patients over time, as well as the variety of this specialty), and students asked questions like, "How many hours do you have to work a week?" and "How many years of college does it take to become a Physician Assistant". Perhaps one of the most interesting points was that many children - like adults - do not understand what exactly a physician assistant is qualified to do. Corine is qualified to diagnose, prescribe and counsel our patients.
