Saleh, Hussam

The thing I'm most excited about is seeing patients. Through my last couple of jobs, that's the thing that's been the core reason that I love being a PA. I did urgent care, I did hospital-based medicine, and every time it comes down to just getting in that exam room, seeing that patient, and just talking to them. That's when I always think 'this is why I chose to be a PA. This is why I chose to work in medicine - to have these relationships with people. Ultimately, I just like seeing people and seeing if there are ways I can help them feel better.

I want patients to know I'm their biggest cheerleader. I want them to succeed as much as they want to succeed, if not more. All I want is for them to be happy, healthy, and to have that trust with me. I'm going to be in their corner 100 percent of the time. I want them to know they can always count on me to be there for them.
