VA PA MOM Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Hello! I was hoping that some of you experienced PAs can shed some light on the current utilization of PAs in urology. Is this a popular specialty? How does it compare to the others in terms of pay and quality of life? I a residency a must? An information that you provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

problem child Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I've covered urology in one the general surgery services I worked in. overall impression: urologists are much nicer and happier compared to other surgeons, and the work is very interesting. I think the pay is good and most procedures elective, so the hours are decent, too. other PAs in the gen surg service independently corroborated my impression.

Enterprise Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I worked in urology for over five years, not a bad gig but I quit due to bad doctors. You don't need a residency I feel I learned everything on my feet, call schedule is not bad, mostly not urgent but still got plenty of calls. I did however get tired of the geriatric population and the uncomfortable sex questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
