I’m Michele Cambron, PA-C.
I created The Medicine Couch to give PAs and NPs the kind of real-world career insight most of us never get in training.
I’ve interviewed over 150 clinicians across various medical specialties and unique career paths, including those who have started their own businesses and PAs working around the world. Additionally, I’ve worked in multiple practice settings myself.
Everything here is designed to help you explore your options, make smarter career moves, and build a stronger foundation for practice, without wasting years figuring it out the hard way.
