Patricia “Tricia” Dorian, PA-C, joined the PeaceHealth Medical Group Vascular & Endovascular Surgery team in January 2019. Tricia’s clinical rotations for her Master of Physician Assistant Studies brought her a multitude of experiences in wide-ranging locations, including general surgery in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Closer to home, she completed rotations in both general and burn surgery in Oregon and trauma and acute care surgery in Washington, as well as clinical experiences in emergency medicine, family practice and internal medicine. Tricia also worked as a paramedic for two and a half years at LeBonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee prior to beginning her physician assistant education in Oregon. “I strive to provide compassionate, high-quality care to every patient I encounter and create a positive, safe environment for patients to discuss their medical needs,” she said. When she isn’t treating patients, Tricia is an outdoor enthusiast whose favorite activities include rock climbing, skiing and hiking. Yoga is also a part of her weekly routine. Her four siblings are scattered across the United States, but they reunite at least once a year with their parents in her hometown: Memphis, Tennessee.
