Learning to deal with unpleasant staff at clinical site

[yellow finch, BSN, RN]

This is my second semester of clinicals in a Family Practice office. There are 2 MDs, 1 NP, and 1 PA. So far, the first three have been incredibly helpful, offer plenty of information, and treat me as a professional.

The PA, however, has not. He is arrogant and seems to enjoy humiliating me and the other NP student in front of patients. It has become so unpleasant that everytime he looks for me to introduce me to one of his patients I make an excuse or avoid him entirely. I'm glad to know that the other NP student there avoids him as well for the same reasons.

So how do I deal with this? The Dr. I work with shares the same hallway as the PA so it's not an easy task to hide from this guy. My MD preceptor thinks the world of the PA which makes me uncomfortable letting him know how I feel about the PA. I can't take another moment with the PA in a patient's room being embarrassed by him.
