  2. Hello! I am currently a first year PA student seeking dermatology rotations in SoCal/OC or the Houston area. I reside in Fullerton and am willing to travel as far as central LA for rotations if necessary. My hometown is Pearland, TX and I am also willing to seek rotations around there and in the Houston area as well. My program does not have any dermatology rotations, so I am seeking a passionate and willing clinician to show me the ropes. I am highly interested in Dermatology and see myself practicing in that specialty one day!

  4. I was just offered a job in my dream field (dermatology) but there is a three year contract and a very high termination fee if I quit within those three years. Although I don't see myself quitting, I do foresee the future if I do end up being miserable at this job, I would end up needing to quit. I was wondering if this was normal in a contract? Is there a way to negotiate it out? The doctor states that he does not want to train me and teach me everything and have me end up quitting after learning, hence the 3 year contract. Any advice?

I want to renegotiate the derm offer to match the hourly compensation of the UC offer - hoping to get at least $53/hr, ask for 20% rather than 5% annual bonus with a goal stipend of $2500. Any tips of advice of any sort would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
  7. I'm considering becoming a PA and have always been interested in aesthetic dermatology. I was wondering how content PA's are with specializing in aesthetic dermatology and what kind of work hours there are. Another thing, are the work hours flexible? I'd love to start a family but not sure how much it will affect that. Thank you!
