PA-C Pooja surprised me as I would have guessed she was an MD fresh out of medical school _ she was so knowledgeable and thorough in her exam, explanations, and answers to my many questions, going the extra mile. I looked up PA-C: Physician Assistant-Certified, a healthcare professional who is trained to diagnose and treat illnesses under the supervision of a physician. I even thanked her extra at the end of our visit after my nebulizer treatment and told her how impressed I was with her care.

Disclosures

Pooja M. Patel, PA-C reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2025.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
