Just Steve Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I have been contacted by a local doc in a busy pain management office asking if I would be interested in doing some part time work. Here is a list of the services that they offer. There are no narcotics/methadone on site. [*=left]Dynamic diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasonography[*=left]Botox injections and intra-spinal baclofen for dystonia and spasticity[*=left]Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty[*=left]Image-guided cervical, thoracic, and lumbar epidural steroid injections[*=left]Joint and hip injections[*=left]Medial branch blocks and radiofrequency neurotomy for facet pain[*=left]Therapeutic nerve blocks[*=left]Electrodiagnostic studies[*=left]Spinal cord stimulation I think there is some value learning how to do effective joint injections that can parlay nicely into a ortho or family practice routine. What is a fair hourly part time wage for a new grad? Thanks for your input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA-Larb Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 125,000 a year is reasonable I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rookiejay Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I just interviewed for FT pain mgt, and they offered me 60k a year... my jaw almost hit the floor. 30ppd and expected to come in early stay late, I liked the MD and the clinic, but they were at least 45k lower then all the other places I had interviewed. I had been overseas for 2 years not working, and I understand I may not get top dollar. I was told it could go as high as 70k but they doubt it. Currently I am negotiating a ortho first assist that is just over 103k a year, with money for call and % of the billed surgery. AND I have NO ortho experience.

rookiejay Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I declined the position and the MD called me and now I work for him! I have 90k a year with 8k sign on and CME covered as well as medical dental and vision. I made the right choice, its a clinic I love and he is a good compassionate man. Best of luck to you :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a fair hourly part time wage for a new grad? Thanks for your input It all depends upon what city's what area are you going to work in. What are your qualifications? etc. etc. In an area like Manhattan, you would be paid higher but its because cost of living and travel in this area is very high. In other parts of the same city, salaries are not as high. However, only the best qualified people can operate here. In other parts of the city, the cost of living is not so high so the salaries are lower even for experienced PAs. You should take your own decision in a similar way.
