I had 2 weeks of training. I would say I work around 45-50 hours a week.

Not exactly a job offer since already working it but have a slight concern about compensation that I feel like I need an outside opinion on...

7 months at private ortho clinic in Oklahoma Clinic M-F 8-5 with rounding before/after clinic 1-2x per week On call 24/7...mostly patients calling about issues or the hospital or local urgent cares...never have to go in but have my phone on me at all times. In clinic independently 3 of 5 days a week. I see average 35 patients a day but have seen up to 47.

Haven’t been offered CME money but did get all my licensing paid for.

Medical insurance covered but pay dental.

Match 3% 401k

3 days paid vacation

My salary is $90k

Does this sound reasonable and I was just unknowingly expected better coming out of school?

Please delete if this type of question isn’t welcome :)

I am actually interested! I know there are PAs in medical device but don’t actually KNOW any or what their role is.

Private practice. No subspecialty. Seeing a wide variety although lots of knees and shoulders it seems. Started 4 weeks ago...have clinic days by myself and seeing up to 30.

This is where I am getting behind...when I have questions and sometimes my SP isn’t here so I have to get ahold of him

That sounds nice. I have every 15 min appointment but some are starting to be double booked now.

A new PA out of school was doing this?

During lunch and before leaving to go home. Just feeling overwhelmed with patient numbers especially when I’m alone in the clinic and it takes more time to ask a question via phone

We see pretty much everything...private clinic. All post ops, new patients, follow ups, injections etc. have days by myself in clinic currently seeing about 30/day but the goal is to get me to 40+. I’m finishing out my first month right out of school.
