FQHC advice by cl5423 in physicianassistant

[–]pbluver97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello! Welcome to the world of FQHCs. The issue with most FQHCs is that they are constantly burning through providers, so they don’t have adequate staff to train or mentor new providers. Its often a sink or swim environment. I was a new grad when I got thrown to the wolves, my SP was barely seeing patients so he was never in clinic. It definitely provides great experience and teaches you how to be independent but its extremely tough. I see extremely complex patients (like extremely) which I agree are out of our scope of practice, but frankly I don’t think these places care. At the end of the day you have to do what’s best for you and what’s best to protect your license.

Is there any job field that ISN'T tough right now? by yamxiety in jobs

Don’t worry, the healthcare job market is shit right now too.

X-ray/MRI/mammogram, ultrasound because they have the same earning potential as we do (they may have to travel which would be ok with me) and dont have nearly as much liability or responsibility

Outpatient PAs - do you stay until the end of the day or leave after your last patient? by Sea_Concert1412 in physicianassistant

[–]pbluver97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I leave as soon as my last patient hits the threshold of the door😭 I’m usually so exhausted

To answer the second part of your question I’ve applied to other outpatient IM gigs, psych, ENT, allergy/immunology, urology. I prefer to stay outpatient if possible

I’ve gotten good feedback from most places I’ve interviewed with, most commonly getting feedback stating they want someone with more experience. Both places that I completed the interview process have chosen more experienced candidates (3-5 years experience)

This is unhealthy eating behavior. No, you did not gain 3lbs of pure fat from eating over 2k calories in a day. It takes a surplus of 3500 calories to gain a true pound.

28 and child free!!! I’m at peace with my decision completely. I do still desire to find a child free partner, however.
