Intro- Meet your Hosts

Welcome to the very first episode of Joint Effort PAs – a podcast by two female orthopedic surgery PAs bringing real talk, relatable experiences, and practical insights from inside the world of medicine.

In this intro episode, we’re pulling back the curtain to share who we are, how we ended up in ortho, what our day-to-day looks like, and what inspired us to start this podcast. We’ll talk about:

• Our backgrounds and career paths
• The highs and lows of orthopedic surgery PA life
• What we’re passionate about professionally (and personally)
• What you can expect from future episodes — from PA school and career tips, to finances, specialty pros/cons, interprofessional dynamics, and more

Whether you're a current or aspiring PA, a fellow healthcare pro, or just curious about life in scrubs, we’re glad you’re here. This is where we keep it honest, educational, and a little bit fun.

Follow along and let’s make it a joint effort.
