Options for other specialties


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I wanted to know if any of you who have worked in Critical Care have tried/or moved to working in a different area of medicine.  Also, which specialties do you believe a Critical Care PA would be the most marketable in?  I'm wondering if working in such a specialized area for so long could help or hurt finding different jobs outside of the ICU.  I've been in Critical Care for 5 years. 

Thanks a bunch!

I'm in critical care, haven't made a move yet but my colleagues have had no trouble finding jobs as hospitalist, neurosurgery, heme/onc, pre-surgical screening, interventional radiology, even ortho/spine and emergency medicine. Basically, anything that has an inpatient focus.

 

If you do a little asking around, you will find that your skills are pretty broadly applicable.

 

Good luck!

 

ps. surely in 5 years you must have seen some of your colleagues depart to other fields?
