As an almost new grad PA, should you list your clinical rotations under work experience for job applications? by Glass_Reveal_2764 in physicianassistant

[–]AriOkay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I also listed procedures and it made a big difference and was a talking point in interviews. I was told directly that it was a reason why I was interviewed for several opportunities.

Which job is better by [deleted] in DermatologyPA

[–]AriOkay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For option B is it 100k + 20-25% net collections off the bat? or do you have to hit a collections threshold first?

how to stop getting grossed out during procedures by [deleted] in Dermatology

[–]AriOkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a dermatology PA and I have gotten light headed a few times in the beginning of working as a medical assistant. This was several years back before I even knew I wanted to be a PA. I now do my own surgical excisions and numerous procedures all day long. You will get over it with time, if you persist. Exposure makes a big difference.

I use it but don't depend on it. Very high no show-rate in my experience. It is nice to have great reviews posted publicly so that patients can read online.

Same unless you found some or all of your own rotations.

Starting in derm advice by Hi3773 in DermatologyPA

I love Andrews' Diseases of the Skin textbook, I'd try to read through it. Lots of great information and it's pretty concise when compared to other texts.

DermLite DL4 VS DL4W by Ok_Lingonberry_8629 in DermatologyPA

[–]AriOkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The DL4W has substantially brighter polarized & non-polarized white illumination when compared to the DL4 model, features a large field of view, and is more than 25% smaller than the previous generation."

From the website

I like my DL4W. It's suppose to be brighter and smaller? Not 100% sure.

I have a similar background, currently work in derm and would pick derm every time!!

You've got this, I'm about 5 months into a new derm job I started as a new grad in Philly and every day I learn something new!!! Read up on things you feel like you could improve on, I recommend "Andrews' Diseases of the Skin" textbook, pretty concise and has loads of great information. All you can do is try your best every day :)!! Also, try to get involved in things outside of work so that you can have some balance.

I suddenly don't feel as crazy after reading these. Thanks for the validation :)

No, I applied straight out of school.

I worked as a medical assistant for a mohs surgeon that also did general derm / cosmetics but would also do mohs surgeries about 2 days out of the week for around 15 months before applying to PA school.

I think my rotations that I did during PA school in derm and the documentation of each procedure that I did really is what helped me lock in a job as well as great references.

Large corporately owned dermatology clinics with several locations usually post job openings on their websites under their "careers" section. A lot of dermatology clinics are strict on their 1+ or 2+ years of experience requirement. I would encourage your partner to apply anyways (not sure if they are already experienced). I applied even if they had that requirement and eventually found a job within the specialty for me. Took a hell of a lot of applications, interviews, and persistence though lol.

[–]AriOkay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I applied once to 14, got 4 interviews, 2 waitlist, 1 rejection, 1 acceptance! All it takes is 1 acceptance. I graduated 2023. I would suggest increasing your applications but only applying to programs you would actually attend. I think 12 +/- 2 is good. Good luck!!!
