crieman Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Actually, the PA I shadowed in the USVI had a wife and 2 daughters when they made the move. The family just has to have an adventurous spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MainePA Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Anyone ever work on an oil platform? I've heard there may be some PAs working in this aspect but haven't come across any. I suspect the work is similar to occ health/urgent care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyJ Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 ive seen some jobs pop up in the Caribbean anyone have any experience or know anyone who has worked beautiful exotic places? I worked in the Northern Mariana Islands for a year. On the islands of Saipan and Tinian. On Saipan, I worked at the only hospital in the Marianas in the ER. On Tinian there was a small clinic that I went to a dozen or so times. I would be the only medical provider on the island when I went there. It was an awesome experience. They flew me out, paid for my moving expenses and gave housing allowance. They have since suspended moving expenses and while I was there housing allowance was often delayed. I have a friend who works in the Marshall Islands. He's been there for about a year and likes it. Works on an army base, tax free and with free room and board. They paid for his relocation as well from Saipan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrarian Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Remote Medical International is looking for PAs. I have trained with them but never deployed with/for them. They have some interesting contracts (Offshore and Antartica) Triple Canopy is looking for PAs. I have trained with them and deployed to Iraq for 90 days with/for them in 2005. Pay and support is OUTSTANDING...! DynCorp is also looking for PAs. I have trained with them and deployed to Afghanistan for 180 days and The Sudan for ~ 400 days with/for them. Pay is outstanding. YMMV Contrarian ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ what is medical intelligence?? Mostly Epidemiological stuff monitoring and analyzing health events that could negatively impact populations of interest... such as worldwide infectious disease risks, global environmental health risks. etc. Medical Intelligence is defined by the Department of Defense as: That category of intelligence resulting from collection, evaluation, analysis, and interpretation of foreign medical, bio-scientific, and environmental information that is of interest to strategic planning and to military medical planning and operations for the conservation of the fighting strength of friendly forces and the formation of assessments of foreign medical capabilities in both military and civilian sectors.

Contrarian Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Any PAs in the Fort Worth Texas area want to make a gaggle of cash...??? This is basically a wittled down version of the job I had in 2006... except I was required to be deployed OCONUS for its entirety and there were "additional duties."
