Posted: March 12, 2009
MESA, Ariz. (Mar. 9, 2009) – Randy Danielsen, Ph.D., PA-C, DFAAPA, dean of A.T. Still University’s Arizona School of Health Sciences (ATSU-ASHS), recently authored a chapter entitled “Cutaneous Disorders” in the paramedic textbook Paramedic Practice Today: Above and Beyond.
According to Dr. Danielsen, the textbook is used by many paramedics and paramedic educators to prepare for the National Registry for Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) exam. Author Barbara Aehlert, R.N., BSPA, requested that Dr. Danielsen write the chapter.
“My contribution included a chapter on cutaneous disorders, which educates paramedics on the anatomy and physiology of the skin and various skin disorders that a paramedic may encounter,” said Dr. Danielsen.
Dr. Danielsen has been dean of ASHS since July 2004. In July 2005, he was appointed by the governor of Arizona to serve a four-year term on the Arizona Regulatory Board for Physician Assistants, and he is also the chair-elect of the National Commission on the Certification of Physician Assistants. He was named Physician Assistant of the Year by the Veterans Caucus of the American Academy of Physician Assistants in 2003, and Outstanding PA of the Year by the American Academy of Physician Assistants in 1993.
