About Charlene Farthing, PA-C

As a Certified Physician Assistant at Tri-Cities Skin & Cancer, Charlene Farthing brings thirteen years of professional dermatology experience to her patients.  Charlene maintains her emphasis on the medical side, treating everything from acne and eczema to skin cancer.
 
Charlene is a member of  the American Academy of Physician Assistants and the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants.  Her professional journey dates back to 1999, when she earned a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology from the University of Rhode Island, where she also minored in Spanish.  She then pursued medical studies at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California, where she obtained her master’s degree in Physician Assistant Studies in 2002
 
Charlene’s passion for dermatology and medicine is not limited to the examination room.  She periodically serves on medical mission trips to underserved countries with the Christian Medical and Dental Association.  This Charitable endeavor allows Charlene to apply her skills and her calling equally.  When she’s not treating patients, Charlene volunteers at her county animal shelter, where she serves as founder of an animal welfare, non-profit group.  She also enjoys spending time on her farm with her husband.  They enjoy riding horses, gardening and hiking with their dogs.

The primary cause of skin cancer is ultraviolet radiation—most often from the sun, but also from artificial sources like sunlamps and tanning booths. In fact, researchers believe that our quest for the perfect tan, an increase in outdoor activities, and perhaps the thinning of the earth’s protective ozone layer are behind the alarming rise we’re now seeing in skin cancers.
