I have a few interviews in Mass and think it's wise to begin getting a license, as I'm likely to get a job offer. There seem to be an overwhelming number of requirements, and an immense lack of clarity regarding the process. The 2 biggest areas of confusion are 1) Mass Health: I tried applying for this, but it requires I put the location of my employer, which I don't have yet. Is it not possible to become licensed without a job? 2) CME: I followed the links for the Sexual Abuse and Pharmacy CMEs, and the Alzheimer's one appears to be fulfilled by having covered that material in clas

Hello all, I am a new grad PA (PANCE in 2 weeks!!), and I'm interested in surgery, and dermatology. Unfortunately, I have been finding it impossible to even get a reply from potential employers.

They have hired a consultant to assist them, have already resolved most of the issues, and are confident they will resolve the rest without issue.

I mean, I guess it's better than getting a rejection.... I'm going crazy over here though; I'm checking my email every hour, haha

Has anyone else still not heard anything yet? I'm really not sure how to feel about it.

I applied around July

I'm not sure if I should be terrified because I haven't heard anything, or optimistic, since I've dodged a couple rounds of rejections.

I just got wait-listed for an interview. Hoping some of y'all take acceptances into other programs so I have a shot here!
