haowei Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I am interested in cardiothoracic surgery, dermatology, and maybe pain management, how many years of residency do these specialty usually take? and whats the salary range when you are in residency?

andersenpa Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 First off understand that residency is not required to practice in any of those fields. You can find full details on residency programs at www.appap.org The average residency is 12 months. Pay ranges from 40s to 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haowei Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 thank you, i asked the question cause i was thinking if a PA with specialty would make more and know more after they are done with residency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andersenpa Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 You'll know more if you put the time in to read and do as much as you can while in residency. You'll make more if you know how to market your residency experience to future employers (so few know much about PAs, and even less about postgrad PA training...you have to sell yourself). If you want to do a sub specialty I would recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
