Special to the Sentinel.
There's. a new face at . the
Wingham and District Hospital
this week.
But not only is . physician
assistant Mark Johnston a new
face; he holds an entirely new
position introduced to help deal
with physician shortages and
heavy workloads in the emer-
gency department.
"I work for the doctor, and
with the doctor. The job is really
easy, because it's exactly what it
says it is," Johnston said.
He started his career as a
medic in the Canadian Forces
for 18 years. He said a physician
assistant is the natural next step
from a military medic.
He began a two-year intensive
training program in 2004, which
included. 48 weeks of didactic
training, and then 51 weeks of
rotation of various hospitals.
He graduated in2006, and has
since worked in Edmonton,
Alberta and also in Afghanistan
asaPA.
The physician assistant posi-
tion has been around since the
1960s in the United States, but
has only recently gained ground
in Canada. Manitoba ' and the
Canadian Forces widely use
PAs.
The PA will take care, of rou-
tine procedures such as taking
medical histories and interview-
ing patients, he can perform
physical examinations, provide
preventative health care counsel-
ing. Johnston will be reporting to
the physician on duty, and other
health care professionals.
The PA program is a two-year
demonstration to deal with
ongoing personnel shortages in
hospitals, and are being intro-
duced at 19 different hospitals in
Ontario this year.
Johnston has recently relocat-
ed to the area with his wife
Linda and his three sons.
