Shelly Larson, PA-C, is a physician assistant who specializes in dermatology.
Hometown: Foreman, North Dakota
What is your practice philosophy? To offer the highest level of medical care while listening to my patients and keeping them as involved, informed and comfortable as possible.
If I wasn’t a provider, I would be a: Teacher
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? I knew as a young kid that I wanted to go into medicine. I have a passion to help others. As a PA, I have the opportunity to make a difference to help my patients have a better quality of life.
Something I have learned from my patients is: Each patient is a special human being who knows their body best so I need to listen to what they are telling me and I must tailor my care to meet the needs of every individual.
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is (and why): Helping patients, with a skin condition that has affecting them socially and emotionally, to gain their self-confidence and join back once we treat their skin condition.
My personal health goal is: Continue to live a healthy lifestyle so that I can give great care to my patients. Take heed to the same advice I give my patients on skin care.
