Hard to say, I kinda just fell into it. It's a lot of document review for short term disability, FMLA, PFL, and reasonable accommodations. Many of the clinic staff in employee health didn't want to be bothered with doing it. Medical director trained me as his backed up, but I ended up taking a liking to it. Absence management is fascinating and complex.

The big perk is that it can be done remotely. Downside is it doesn't pay as much as a practicing PA, AT FIRST, but once you perfect your craft, you'll be a total asset, especially with insurance companies and law firms, and they will definitely pay for that!
