PACME Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 about to graduate and trying to get an ED position. however, I am going on an interview for an ortho urgent care position. I was curious if the experienced folk felt that this would be a good place to start and if it would help me transition into an ED in the near future. I was a bit concerned over the lack of general medicine exposure verse a regular UC position. every ED position wants ED experience... seems like a catch-22 for new grads who can't relocate to residencies. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatswain2PA Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 If you want em then you may have to travel. My first job from pa school was a single coverage ED an hour away from home. The 12 hour shifts made this doable. It was also almost exclusively nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no ED positions that do not state 1-3 years of ED experience required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
