First Job in Primary Care


Recommended Posts

I recently passed my PANCE and am now a PA-C.  My dream and goal has always been to work in outpatient primary care.  As I start my search for my first job I am finding a lot of postings for experienced PAs in outpatient family medicine.  In addition, I have seen several posting for urgent care clinics.  Does anyone have advice or an opinion about working in Urgent Care as your first job?  At least to get my foot in the door.

I recommend against urgent care first if you want to get into family medicine.

 

Family medicine has enough time pressure on it, such that I'm not sure it's any less stressful than urgent care, but the ability to follow patients, see therapist and consultant notes as they come back, and actually just see healthy people for preventative care are wonderful parts of primary care that make it a great place for a new grad to start practicing.
