Ortho Urgent Care position


Recommended Posts

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!

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.

 

Actually, travel is not really the issue. Where I live, commuting an hour is rather common. There are no ED positions that do not state 1-3 years of ED experience required.
