Continued my conversation: Dr. SP: What does PhA stand for? Also, so your goal is to let doctors who got trained in foreign countries practice in US without going through residency right? Dr. Katherine Miller: PhA stands for Physician Associates. it is about a more realistic "residency" instead of the current rigid and detached system. If you take some time to read my LinkedIn profile and watch the 3 video clips I made very details to explain the current system and the PhA project you will understand and also this petition going on right now, you read and you will know the residency program I am trying to create: https://www.change.org/p/california-governor-petition-for-california-governor-to-approve-pilot-program-as-a-medical-residency-for-pha/u/22203154
