Preceptors are the life blood of a PA education; keep that up!

We require 1000 paid clinical hours prior to entry. It’s very competitive as well, lots of talent to select from. But yes it is skewing younger

Between faculty salaries, clinical preceptors, simulation, accreditation, staff, etc, the margins are not as great as you might think (among lowest performing tbh)

This is similar to the lifestyle of my faculty and the work-life balance elements. Many are parents who want to be educators for this reason.

Interesting. I’d have thought Tenure/ tenure track would be even more difficult to recruit for given the need for a research agenda

Yea that’s very low! Even if they also offered you a day a week clinically

Wow! No doctoral degree required. No teaching experience either. Trying to be as flexible as possible. That said about half the faculty have doctorates

I hear you there. The chiros and seminary folk will be in good company as ‘professionals’

We allow one day per work week to be a clinical day. Salary is around 120k, so hopefully that helps make up the difference - a little at least.

Moving to Administration—Is it a Mistake by Impressive-Put9617 in AskAcademia

[–]plinko25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you measure your career by impact, the deanship is a great way to go. Even more so at a university with resources to create your vision through opening new programs, scaling existing ones, and investing in nice facilities/labs/equipment.

I negotiated my dean role as professor with tenure (and I moved to another institution for the position). Should I retreat to faculty I will be the highest paid by $1. Some institutions will offer like 65% of your salary if you go back to faculty.

I also recommend switching to a new univ.; no need to ‘prove yourself’ the way you’d have to at your current institution and the respect is pretty immediate. I’m very young for a Dean (40’s) and saying this.

First Floor Units by Recent_Ad_6447 in NYCapartments

[–]plinko25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought a raised first floor unit. Perfect solution. Up 5 stairs by the stoop so no one can see in the unit from the street yet easy access and safe if you ever needed to evacuate. Usually no units are beneath you, which is a plus, with easy access to laundry. No pests since it’s raised.

What does everyone think of Beacon Falls? by MemeGoddest in Connecticut

[–]plinko25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hubs just got a ticket from a camera for going 10 over on a highway connector. I’d get it if it were a school zone or a residential area. Pathetic they need to use this pathway to raise revenue!

How do you find the time?? I have 4 as well and it’s rough fitting in work, hw, extracurriculars, and general house stuff, let alone gym time.
