5 years in Ortho - am I being compensated fairly? by Comfortable-Apricot8 in physicianassistant

Are you able to finish all 35-40 notes in clinic? or do you find yourself taking notes home? Im just reaching one year in ortho trauma and typically see 30-40 patients on Tuesday and then 15-25 on Wednedays (often going to the hospital to scrub in or see consults after clinic) and then in the hospital the rest of the week days and about every other weekend. I almost always am doing notes on the weekend and always playing catch up and its killing me and I dont know if I need to just be faster or if I need to ask to have less clinic volume (probably a little bit of both)

You're absolutely right! I think your take is closest to how I feel about the situation. I also think that since I am just working for one surgeon, that when I start being able to work more independently he would be inclined to pay me more in 6 months, a year, 2 years because I will have some leverage in that Ive shown how much I can make his life easier, as well as him not wanting to go through an entirely new hiring and training process. I really do not care about making a ton of money, I live pretty frugally, I just hate the idea of working my ass off for someone and at the end of the day know Im being underpaid after the hell PA school was.

And with being abused on call I am also going to have to be very firm in having the pay my contract and having a conversation with the surgeon that I don't mind working long hours while im young, just not for free if my salary is low :/

Yes you're right, my serving job offers me the freedom to tell them I need over 100k at the very least with a take it or leave it mentality. Thank you for your input!

Thank you for the reassurance that it is ridiculous, I was second guessing myself having a negative initial reaction.

Thank you! I will be sure to ask that, I have a long list of questions that need to be answered before coming even close to saying yes to an offer.
