Nonlegit Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm probably a few years out, but always loved the state when I was younger. Its strongly on my radar, as I'll likely be looking to move back to New England when I am done. I particularly like midcoast Maine, and would be looking at EM positions I'm guessing. The dream would be a small hobby farm, close beach access, outdoors activities, seafood, but I can't let the cart get too far ahead of the horse here...

MrsGPAC Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Another Maine PA here. Graduated in May, now working ED in mid-maine (non-coastal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delco714 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 How is it that having trained in NYC level 1 trauma for peds, surg, ed, peds ed that I couldn't get an ER job 2 years ago as a new grad moving to Maine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsGPAC Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I fell into this job backwards. I did all my rotations in Maine and knew the right people I guess? Quite a few connections and timing were heavily involved. It was a long painful job search/hiring process though. We are hiring now for the ED...

SoCalPA Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I heard the scope of practice/autonomy for PAs in the ED there is extraordinary. Is that so? How's the pay if you don't mind? I used to live in New England and could be convinced to suffer the snow in exchange for great scope. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsGPAC Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Autonomy where I am is great. In fact, I more often feel like I'm allowed too much autonomy than too little. Granted I'm 6 months out and working main ED shifts at a level II trauma center, so I should feel that way. The seasoned folks I work with function basically like the MD's. Pretty sweet set up, particularly if you stick around a while. Pay is good when compared to other new grads in my area. It was the highest I was offered when compared to (occ med/urgent care, multiple family med practices) and is higher than any of the other new grads I'm close with who are in vascular sx, trauma sx, family med. I feel like it's pretty on par with the average for the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainah Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I particularly like midcoast Maine, and would be looking at EM positions I'm guessing. I grew up in the midcoast...it would meet all your goals for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
