Scott A Mihalik, PA-C

I fell into medicine almost by accident, you might say.

While studying mathematics as an undergraduate at the University of Michigan, I happened to get a job at the University hospital as a nurse assistant. It was a junior role on the care team, and I spent most of my time working under the supervision of other nurses and clinicians. During that time, I found out how rewarding it can be to take care of patients.

It hadn’t been my plan to change my major and my career track, but I couldn’t deny a sense of having found my calling. Now, as a physician assistant, I am able to provide direct patient care, diagnose and treat illnesses, perform exams, order and interpret diagnostic tests, develop treatment plans, and prescribe medications. One area of medicine I’m particularly passionate about is cardiology.
