msjernigan37 Posted May 15, 2014 I just wanted to put this out there for all the new grads (or anyone who doesn't have ER/urgent care experience) that don't have the 1-2 years of experience needed to work in most ERs- Florida Emergency Physicians (Orlando, Fl) started a new allied health training program for PAs and NPs last year. It's a great opportunity for those of us who really want to work in the ER but can't because of the lack of experience. You can go to their website to find out more about it. www.floridaep.com (click the "careers" tab and select "allied health"). I start the program this year! So excited:)
Moderator EMEDPA Posted May 15, 2014 Moderator I erased the 2 other versions of this thread and left the reference in the em links/residencies section. no reason to post this 5 times....
msjernigan37 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Ok, no worries! Had a brief moment of excitement about the program- I can't wait to be back in the ER:)
Simplify Posted May 15, 2014 Interesting, although I dare say the curriculum looks like it could use a little beefing up. It looks like mostly fast-track training. Do they train with the goal of main ED coverage? If not your time might be better spent attending an actual EM residency.
msjernigan37 Posted May 15, 2014 Author The curriculum isn't listed on the website but it's very extensive. I've known the FEP providers for years-they're awesome people and even more awesome teachers. Couldn't see myself anywhere else. And I will be training alongside some really excellent NPs. Don't hate on MAs and custodians-can you imagine the ER without them? Lol Chill out and Peace Out
rlwpac Posted August 11, 2014 I would be more interested if they didn't refer to PAs as "allied health." We practice medicine. Treat us as such.
