POTSDAM -- Canton-Potsdam Hospital’s Terri Evrard Joyce is now one of 240 certified physician assistants (PA-Cs) nationally to recently earn the specialty credential Certificate of Added Qualifications (CAQ) from the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA).
Joyce was awarded a CAQ in hospital medicine, a distinction earned by meeting licensure, education and experience requirements and then passing an exam in the specialty. She is one of only 50 certified PAs in New York, and approximately 800 nationally, to earn a CAQ since the program’s inception in 2011.
Joyce was one of the founding providers of the Canton Potsdam Hospital's hospitalist department.
CAQs are offered to certified PAs in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, emergency medicine, orthopaedic surgery, nephrology and psychiatry, and for the first time in 2014, hospital medicine and pediatrics.
Certified PAs are licensed and certified health care professionals who practice medicine. Certified PAs can take histories, conduct physical exams, diagnose and treat illnesses, order and interpret tests, counsel on preventative health care, assist in surgery, perform a variety of procedures and write prescriptions.
