Katelyn Frankwick, PA-C, Receives Aspirus OME Joy Award

For the 6th year, the Aspirus Office of Medical Education (OME) is recognizing the collaboration and contributions made by #AspirusHealth Physicians and Advanced Practice Clinicians (APCs) as clinical teachers for medical students and APC students. 

 

This year’s Joy Award goes to Katelyn Frankwick, certified physician assistant with Aspirus Clinic - Marshfield. 

 

Frankwick demonstrates enthusiasm, teaches with happiness, celebrates student and academic success, and consistently contributes to a positive learning environment. 

 

One physician assistant student said, “Katie is an enthusiastic teacher and provider who is passionate about providing compassionate and evidenced-based care to her patients. As a teacher, she greatly expanded my medical knowledge and challenged me to grow, but most importantly, she taught me how to connect with patients and the interdisciplinary team to promote best possible outcomes and relationships. She valued my insights as a student, and we had a very collaborative relationship that promoted my learning over the course of 13 weeks. You can tell that she truly enjoys teaching and is always looking to learn more herself. She is an advocate for herself, her staff, her patients, her students, and her community. I truly could not think of a better preceptor than Katie. I strive to be like her in many ways once I start my career as a PA.”
