Aug. 29, 2018 - USA Physicians Group Welcomes New Trauma/Critical Care Physician
Assistant
Claire Naylor recently was appointed a trauma/critical care
physician assistant with USA Physicians Group.

In her new appointment, Naylor will be handling medical

management of trauma patients, preparing patients for their
future recovery, providing education about their injuries and
surgeries, and connecting them with resources to foster the
healing process.

“The most rewarding part of my job is seeing patients who are

critically injured progress to a better state of health, ultimately
going home with family or rehab for continued progression,”
she said. “They are given a second chance as life. Knowing I
am a part of their healing and recovery process is gratifying.”

Naylor said the course work and clinical rotations through

USA’s physician assistant program is what prepared her for her
job in the trauma department. The program taught her early on
how to utilize time efficiently, and it provided an excellent broad
foundation to build her medical knowledge, she said.

Naylor received her master’s degree from USA and began her
career as a physician assistant at Cardiology Associates in the
cardiovascular surgery unit. She is a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants and Alabama
Society of Physician Assistants.
