Media-Friendly PA

Published April 24, 2008 4:12 PM by Stephen Cornell

Los Angeles Valley College PA Sonia Nodal is featured in two articles in the April 23 issue of the the Valley Star, the independent newspaper of LAVC.

One of the writers spelled Nodal's name correctly and described her as a physician assistant.

"Patients are provided copies of 'Patient's Rights,' which outlines their confidentiality in our health facility," said Sonia Nodal, physician assistant at the health center. "They are also advised of and provided a copy of "HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices," which also discloses our commitment of protecting their medical records."

The other writer spelled her name wrong and referred to her as a physician's assistant.

"We do this to have the students realize what resources are on campus for health services as well as all the great community resources out there," said Sonya Nodal, the health center's physician's assistant. "The fact that we were able to reach out to so many more students this year than last year is great."

Nice job by Nodal to help raise the PA profession's profile. If every PA appeared in two articles, the whole world would finally know about the PA profession.
