New PA Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hi :) I'm a newly graduated PA and except to have my NCCPA license in a few weeks. I have 2 inter-related questions: 1) I am more interested in practicing outside of US. I know there are many opportunities via US armed forces and such but I would prefer not to be employed through the US government. What other options does a newly certified PA have? In case it matters, I'm a US citizen. 2) I know different coutries will have different rules and regulations regarding licensure and practice but generally speaking would I need certification from other countries to practice there? Do I need to maintain my PA certification and license in the US as well if I'm not practicing in the US? OR, is there a resource/recruiter I can look at to get details of how/what/where about employment opportunities for US PAs outside of US? Thanks to all who take the time to respond!

annie219 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I am a US trained PA working in Scotland now for almost 4 years. You only need to hold your NCCPA license requirements and will need to continue to keep that up to date. At the moment, it is required you register with the MVR (Managed Voluntary Registry) for PAs. We are currently hiring at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital and are looking both in the UK and abroad for any interested candidates. The job post is found on the NHS Scotland SHOW website: https://jobs.scot.nhs.uk/_Details.aspx?vacNo=384462 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie219 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 The link seems to not work, so if you google The Golden Jubilee National Hospital, physician assistant job post, that should work. Sorry about that. ~A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torshi Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Also, need to consider the scope of practice as a PA overseas - most likely less autonomy and over-regulated. Moreover, the salaries are quite lower, however depending on the countries economic climate, purchasing power may be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some friends who are em PAs in england and they are scheduled interchangeably with er docs. they can run the dept, be the only provider there, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
