Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 yep I am keeping a list we can sort it out when we get closer I think jt injections could very well need more than one teacher as many people want tot tune up skills there Thanks CIndy.Another excelletn Temple grad..... I have to agree, joint injections shouldn't be painful, and patients often tell me that I did a better job than the specialist who did it before. Willing to teach joint injections at camp, better, perhaps we should make a list of procedures wanted to be taught by someone, then match up people with the skills, who will be there. I think joint injections and Botox have to be about the easiest things there are to do.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Yes, FP's should be doing any procedure they feel confident to do. It goes without saying that they must be trained and current. We all need to resist the specialty opinion that we should be 'triagists'. There are plenty of FP's who do a whole host of procedures including surgery, Central lines, colonoscopy, etc, etc. To suggest that FP's are repsonsible for a patients perception that a particular procedure may be painful (because FP's don't do it as well as a specialist) is a bit condescending. Unfortunately, it's an attitude that is all too prevalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 would be happy to be on the list too. I'm new to the group but am located in Seattle where I believe the next camp is going to be. (lucky me!) and I've taught procedure classes for a local medical school. I love doing procedures and my patients love that they don't have to go to an unknown specialist--as they do often have misconceptions and fears. I do IUDs, endometrial bxs, most skin procedures and knee and shoulder injections as well as elbow and hip bursal injections. My biggest tip for doing procedures is having a system for documentation and supplies. Took me a bit to get myself organized, but for the most, I can now do them relatively easily. A nice change of pace for me in my day, and I agree, I think I often do a better job than the "specialist".

We have a variety of trainings but may perhaps as IMPS share more . This was done at CAMP this year and I hope we continue to do it We should try to add to and extend our skills as much as possible This serve s our patients well and serves the system in prevention of unwarranted referrals My own residency has developed some rather humorous but useful teaching models to demonstrate Lps endometrail bx etcThen there are always those funny slippery diaphragms to fit. If a procedure can be learned , can b e billed for, an is useful to have in our quiver, then lets teach each other what we might not have gotten in resdiency.Let's make a l ist for IMP camp: shoulder injections?Knee injections? delivering babies with forceps...( joke)Now, who wants to teach?
