Is there a demand?


Recommended Posts

I had heard this rumor too, but I can assure you the base salary is in the high 80's. Total compensation package is around 100K mark. I don't doubt the 114 with overtime but that is true for many jobs.

Good to know. My facility is a bit west of there We start new surgical residency PA's in high 80's and I am getting local offers to change hospitals of around 120k for 20 yr experience in an area with tremendous cost of living. Not a big range from start to the cap. Maybe that is an acceptable range but I just don't know.

Yale new haven (more specifically northeast medical group which staffs yales hospitalist team) starts around 100k for new grad hospitalist per 2 good friends of mine who recently began working there. With overtime they can make up to 114k year 1.

I was the "Original" Hospitalist PA there back in 1990 and the program has blossomed to cover pretty much the entire Dept of Medicine impatient services . So, one might be doing General Medicine, or Cards maybe ICU spread out over two campuses in this group. That said experiences may differ per PA.

I fail to see how a residency is any better than on the job experience. residency requires extra hours at lower pay. how does that benefit the resident? if one does has a piece of paper that states that he is a resident, how is that any better than one with a year of on the job training? lets see some stats that residency trained PAs are superior than on the job trained PAs. lets see data before promoting a useless endeavor

EMEDPA posted the value added of off-service rotations, skills workshops and lectures that can condense several years of job experience into a much shorter time. Consider, also, that a new PA may be uncomfortable with only 6 weeks of rotation in a specialty and want the extra experience and confidence of starting out with a residency. Most PA schools train generalists, not specialists, and rotations are long enough to provide some good exposure to a specialty but too short to really provide all the needed skills. Most PA specialty jobs provide relatively little on-the-job training and the new PA is left to succeed or fail on their own. Those who have prior specialty experience may do quite well, those who don't have that experience may want the residency.
