Neither am I

Yeah, what?

Surfing for jobs because I am just always interested in what’s out there, I stumbled across this gem. Doctorate in PA or other PhD required. This is for an OccMed DoD gig that pays—- get this… $64000-$84000 in FL. I mean, come on! Let’s require a doctorate and then pay associate degree nursing wages… wth?

If so, how did you get into it?

Perlman is hiring FM... only $60/hr though. Wayyy not enough for SoCal/SD.

No, this was voted down by the HOD also.

OTP is actually making the rounds through various state legislatures already. Options are opening up for states to move to... if you’re into that sort of thing.

The vote has been made and people are still going on about cost and legalities. Jeeze. Start marketing and making the change. Get the legislators on the horn in every state and let them know to start amending the legislation. Lets go, already. In 10 years we will be doing this again to go with MCP. What an epic waste of time, but I am still glad to be rid of the term assistant.

The final vote on title change by the HOD. PHYSICIAN ASSOCIATE: YES 198 NO 68 WE ARE AFFIRMED TO BE PHYSICIAN ASSOCIATES.

Medical Care Practitioners was voted down 195 to 67. Associates, we are.

Amendment put forth by Sobel for change to Medical Care Practitioner. Will discuss and then vote. Some of the same old heads still trying to find round-about ways of not going with MCP. ie cost/title protection/downstream bylaws/etc.

Physician Associate 192 to 76. We are no longer Assistants. Still amendments to be heard so it can be changed to MCP or other.

The voting meeting on title change is underway. The Speaker was sure to say the refcom does not choose the outcome; it is a majority vote. If we are to change the title we will do it today. There is still debate going on just prior to the voting. I am unsure who is watching other than me and the delegates.

That comment really ties the room together.

Job posting expired 23 March, but damn that’s a cool gig. I read the whole announcement even though I’m not even remotely qualified. Makes me want to do big things, so that I can get a sweet job like this in 20 or so years. Guess I’m going to get that doctorate in assisting a physician...
