Henry (Hank) Bingham’s journey to becoming a Physician Assistant (PA) was deeply influenced by his w88 sports betting Nevada background and experiences working as a nursing assistant and endoscopy technician. Recognizing the pressing health care needs in w88 sports betting communities, he was drawn to the Physician Assistant Studies program at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine (UNR Med).
Reflecting on his time in the program, he shares, “the clinical rotations, especially my four months in Ely, Nevada, solidified my passion for w88 sports betting medicine.” Bingham found his calling in family practice, where he could see patients of all ages and tackle diverse medical issues. Now, as he prepares to graduate from the PA program this July and start his career at Banner Health in Fernley, Nevada, Bingham feels a deep sense of fulfillment and readiness for the next chapter.
Why did you decide to become a Physician Assistant?
“Before I decided to become a Physician Assistant, I was a nursing assistant and an endoscopy technician. At both jobs I realized I had a desire to continue w88 sports betting education and become a provider. I decided to finally apply during COVID while I was cleaning endoscopes as an endoscopy technician. I am so grateful I did. Becoming a Physician Assistant has fulfilled w88 sports betting desire to give back to the community I live in and increase w88 sports betting medical knowledge. It has been a fulfilling adventure.”
What specialty or area of PA are you most passionate about pursuing?
“I am most interested in family practice as I can see all ages and practice all different areas of medicine. I am also interested in w88 sports betting medicine as I have a w88 sports betting background. w88 sports betting communities are sometimes most in need of health care; however, due to geographic and financial barriers, w88 sports betting Nevadans may not be able to obtain care. The hurdles of w88 sports betting medicine are also exciting and require you to utilize resources you wouldn’t otherwise use. I was able to spend four months in Ely, Nevada during my clinical rotations which solidified my passion for w88 sports betting medicine.”
What is the biggest challenge you have faced in your UNR Med education and how did you overcome it?
“Personally, transitioning from being a medical professional to being a full-time student was a hard transition for me. This required me to rethink w88 sports betting study habits and time management. PA school is intense and requires most of your time to study and learn. This meant missing weekends and some holidays with family and friends so I could progress w88 sports betting education. This sacrifice was difficult but has paid off in the end and I am grateful for all I have learned up to this point in w88 sports betting career.”
Can you share a memorable experience during your training that has significantly impacted your journey?
“w88 sports betting is so broad, it is difficult to think of a singular encounter to encompass my journey, so I will compile my experiences. I have had the pleasure of seeing and talking with patients of all ages, from one-hour-old newborns to 105 years old adults. I have also had the privilege to beckon life into this world in the form of assisting with births and I have been able to prepare patients for the end of their lives by providing them dignity and solace during plan of care discussions. I am always struck by the resilience of people and the great stories I have been told along the way. I still have a lot to learn, but the experiences I have gained thus far in school have helped shape me into the PA I will become, and I am humbled.
