Celebrating PA Week: Spotlight on Arina Zudenko, DMSc, PA-C, CLS(ASCP)
New York, NY – As National Physician Assistant (PA) Week is celebrated from October 6-12, Arina Zudenko, DMSc, PA-C, CLS(ASCP), shines as an exemplary healthcare provider in the heart of New York City. Zudenko has been a devoted member of the medical community, serving patients alongside Dr. Kletsman at New York Medical Office. Her unique journey from patient to colleague has shaped her approach to compassionate and personalized care.
For several years, Zudenko has had the privilege of collaborating with Dr. Kletsman in his established practice. Before joining his team, she experienced his care firsthand as a patient, which had a profound impact on her perspective on healthcare. Witnessing Dr. Kletsman’s exceptional management of the practice and his empathetic treatment of patients inspired Zudenko’s decision to become part of his esteemed team. This relationship has deepened her commitment to delivering the highest standard of care, particularly in primary care settings.
“We share the belief that healthcare should not only be efficient but also deeply compassionate. Joining Dr. Kletsman’s practice allowed me to expand my ability to provide the same kind of patient-focused care that I once received,” said Zudenko.
Advocating for the PA Profession: Celebrating PA Week
Physician Assistants (PAs) have played a crucial role in healthcare since the mid-1960s. National PA Week recognizes the contributions of PAs to the medical field, and Zudenko, a strong advocate for the profession, actively promotes awareness of the vital role PAs play in patient care.
The PA profession was founded in 1965 by Dr. Eugene Stead at Duke University, addressing a shortage of primary care physicians. Today, PAs are integral to healthcare systems across the country. Licensed to practice medicine in every specialty and setting, PAs provide patient-centered, team-based care. Zudenko's work exemplifies the versatility and impact of PAs in modern healthcare.
“Being a PA means not only delivering comprehensive care but also having the flexibility to address emerging healthcare needs,” Zudenko said. “In times of crisis, such as pandemics, PAs are trained to adapt quickly, providing critical support where it's most needed.”
PAs, including Zudenko, are trusted healthcare providers with rigorous education and clinical training. Their ability to be rapidly redeployed to areas of need enhances the healthcare system’s ability to respond to crises, making them essential contributors to improving health outcomes nationwide.
The Rewards of Practicing Primary Care in NYC
For Zudenko, practicing primary care in New York City presents unique professional fulfillment. NYC’s diverse patient population allows her to provide culturally informed care that enhances patient experiences and outcomes. Working in such a dynamic and densely populated environment offers her an unparalleled opportunity to make a meaningful impact on public health while continuing to grow professionally.
“The diversity in New York City’s patient population has enriched my medical practice, helping me to understand and respect the cultural differences that impact healthcare,” Zudenko explained. “This has led to stronger patient relationships and more effective care.”
Zudenko’s role in primary care goes beyond day-to-day patient management. By contributing to public health in one of the world’s busiest cities, she has access to numerous opportunities for professional development, learning, and networking. These avenues have strengthened her expertise and broadened her ability to address a wide range of health challenges.
