ProspectivePA Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Please help me with this offer. It is for a full-time EM position as a new grad in a midwestern US city. The hospital is a large, renowned level I trauma center with resident coverage. I was told that PAs are used to "full potential," as in we are given great autonomy, but do always have a physician available for any questions/assistance. Schedule is three, 12-hour shifts per week (36 hours per week). First 3-6 months will be a training period, at which I will be paid 90% of the salary pay, and then 100% after training is completed. Salary: $98,500, non-negotiable Bonus: Tuition repayment assistance of $5,000/year PTO: 30 days/year (includes sick days, vacation and holidays) CME: $1,000 allowance Full medical, vision, dental insurance Short and long term disability coverage paid 100% by employer Basic life insurance up to $500,000 paid 100% by employer Savings and Investment plan - employer matches 50% up to 6% of pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoRezSkyline Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Considering the tuition repayment bonus of $5K and the fact that your dental, medical and vision are paid at 100% by the hospital, I'd say that makes up for being short a grand or so in CME funds as compared to average? Overall, sounds like a solid offer for a new grad in EM - especially if it is a good learning environment and you're given a fairly broad scope.

ProspectivePA Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Great, thank you all for the responses. From your experience, if the salary was stated to be non-negotiable, does that mean benefits aren't either? Does anyone have any cases where they were told the offer was non-negotiable but was able to ask and get granted better benefits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a large hospital group your only leverage is to find a reason why you qualify to be given "experience" in their system and bumped up to a different salary level. You are a new grad, do you have relevant experience in the ED? an MPH? Extensive work history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
