The Physician Associate Podcast

Hayley Arceneaux works as a physician assistant at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. As a child, Hayley was treated at St Jude's Hospital for cancer. Now a fully qualified PA, Hayley works with children in paediatric oncology.

At age 29, Arceneaux was the youngest American to travel to space, when she became an astronaut on SpaceX's first private spaceflight Inspiration4, and became the first human in space with a prosthetic leg bone after surviving bone cancer.

Hayley's book Wild Ride: A Memoir of I.V. drips and rocket ships is out now
