Ever wish you could hear from someone who's been there?

Richshell Smith, NP, recently joined our Telemedicine Masterclass and said it gave her "so many resources, including a checklist to make sure you don't miss a step."

If you're dreaming of launching your practice but aren't sure where to begin, this class is a solid starting point.

Practical tools. Real-world guidance. Support from people who've actually done it.

💡 Did you know? Men’s health is one of the fastest-growing practice niches for NPs and PAs, yet many entrepreneurs overlook it.

Let’s talk about a question we hear all the time.

What exactly is the difference between a PA and a doctor?

While they’re not the same role, both are essential, and when they collaborate, patients benefit.

We broke it down in this article, where we comprehensively examine the key distinctions between PAs and physicians, and celebrate what PAs bring to the table.

📌 Check it out:

The role of the Physician Assistant (PA) in modern medicine has been expanding for decades, yet confusion persists about the precise nature of their responsibilities and how they are compared to medical doctors (MDs) and doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs).

Access isn't abstract, and when coverage expands, lives change, and sometimes, one policy change can open a thousand doors.

We're honored to share that our founder, Dr. Annie DePasquale, was recently featured by SingleCare on how GLP-1 Medicaid coverage can move the needle for underserved patients.

Georgia NPs and PAs, there’s an important update you need to know that recently went into effect.

In the past, you could simply fill out a paper PDF form as an NP or PA and submit it to the state, showing your collaborating physician. That process has ended.

Now, everything must be submitted through the state’s website, called the Gateway.

And here’s the key difference: it’s your collaborating physician—not you—who has to log in to the Gateway and complete a lengthy, detailed application to officially connect with you.

At Collaborating Docs, we take compliance very seriously. That’s why we’ve added a Georgia Compliance Specialist to our team.

So, if you’re in Georgia and struggling with this process, we’d love to help!
