Rebuilder Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Does anyone know of any job types that are available for a PA that is outside of clinical practice ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKPAC Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Pharmaceutical Sales Administration Teaching Ditch-diggin' Construction Day laborer Retail Sales McDonalds Management Team Some of these jobs do not actually utilize the PA degree. Some would argue that none of them do. Just out of curiosity, why do you ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebuilder Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 I ask because despite my best intentions and efforts I made a terrible, soul crushing mistake. I still have many skills outside of the clinic and would like to use them. My preference is not to be a pharm rep or dig ditches. So if anyone has any input for someone who is grieving I would appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorGirl Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 PA for 25+ years and just now deciding to get out of clinical practice? That baffles me. But if you have that much experience, go teach. There are a million new PA schools opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocialMedicine Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 healthcare consulting if you are near a large city. hospital administration .. maybe attempt to gain a fellowship in administration. work in pharma ... does not have to be sales ... maybe leadership or science role given health experience and adv degree.

TWR Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 where did it say that they practiced for 25 + years? I am coming to a similar conclusion that after 28 years I am not "having fun anymore" Probably because of the stress level which continues to rise like the temperature in Houston. However , unlike Rebuilder, I have a tentative plan as to what to do next using my medical and administrative skills (I owned my own practice and medical center in NYC).

GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 ^^^ I feel the same as well. Trying one last stop with student exposure and maybe get the Feds to buy me an MPAS to allow me to teach. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpSite Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Does anyone know of any job types that are available for a PA that is outside of clinical practice ? Thanks I've seen a rare research position posted every so often in the past couple years. They are rare and might only be good for a few years but it looked like decent money with great hours.

Guest Paula Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 EPIC is hiring PAs, if you want to live in Wisconsin. WI is not all bad if you like record breaking snow and cold, cheese curds, mosquitos, the Green Bay Packers and beer. I've lived here now for 20 years and have survived it nicely but it makes me miss my home state of Minnesota and the Vikings. Skol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbrothers98 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I ask because despite my best intentions and efforts I made a terrible, soul crushing mistake. I still have many skills outside of the clinic and would like to use them. My preference is not to be a pharm rep or dig ditches. So if anyone has any input for someone who is grieving I would appreciate it. Sounds like something bad happened to you. I hope you can move forward from whatever it is. I have personally met PAs who have done the following: Medical device rep Editor/ content provider for medical web site Educator, not only in PA programs but college and university instructors Representative for medical associated organization Researcher Clinical informatics Lecturer Medical facility administrator Risk management in healthcare facility Lawyer (went back to school, works in healthcare law) Something I would like to point out, any healthcare provider with 25+ yrs of experience is a difficult to replace resource. There are options available to pick up the pieces even after terrible mistakes. I have anecdotal experiences with 2 physicians I have worked with that made life changing mistakes for themselves and patients. Through various routes they have returned to medicine in different forms. I also have anecdotal experience with a PA who has come back from substance abuse, a tragic outcome for a pt and a prison sentence as a result of an overt crime who found their way back to practice. There is a way to rebuild, just look at the many public figures in this country who commit extraordinary outrageous acts and are eventually forgiven.

Moderator EMEDPA Posted June 14, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 14, 2014 EPIC is hiring PAs, if you want to live in Wisconsin. T-system hires PAs as consultants as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdpac Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 EPIC is hiring PAs, if you want to live in Wisconsin. I have a friend who lives about a mile from the Epic campus. It's a nice campus and it's expanding. Verona/Madison is a nice area. I've heard mixed reviews about working for Epic mainly from the developer side of things. No idea what it would be like as a PA working for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 T-system hires PAs as consultants as well. Yes, they do. However, they aren't the same company since the original local ED physicians sold out to the larger corporation. I can remember during my consultation status how excited I was to see a Keurig machine before everyone knew what they were. They also kept sandwich meats, bread, and other beverages onsite for employees to have for lunch (and to increase productivity). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWR Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 what is T systems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator True Anomaly Posted June 15, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 15, 2014 what is T systems? T Systems makes the "T Sheets" that are used in the ER for documentation. They're easy to use templates that are based on chief complaint. For paper charting in the ED, they're my favorite. They also have their own EMR that I understand is pretty good too.

GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 EMR out of Dallas that initially began as complaint oriented paper templates. Very little free-noting since the whole idea was to circle, slash, back slash, and check pre-listed hx., PMH, ROS, PE, studies, dx., and tx. plan options already pre-configured. Two local EM docs came up with the idea in a Dallas 'burb, established the company in Dallas, and then later cashed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
