quietmedic Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 So I want to break in to Emergency Medicine. I have years of EMT experience, but I am a new PA grad, though, and it seems practically every ER in NYC demands experience, usually 3-5 years. How does one get that experience precisely?

bcstout Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I, unfortunately, experienced the same problem where I lived. I had to find a job in a different state to build up my experience before I moved back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelusionalEnthusiasm Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Same problem in NJ, although usually just 1 yr needed, but has to be a PA ER yr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medic25 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Check with Queens Hospital Center. They used to routinely hire new grads, at least Stony Brook grads (not sure about other programs). Or look up in Connecticut, Westchester or LI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just419 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 There are a few hospitals in Queens and Brooklyn that are hiring per diem ER PAs. Try getting a part time position while working a full time position to get some experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kang1208 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 It does seems like NYC will be over-saturated with new grad PA, making it harder to find work in ANY speciality within the next few years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfundee Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 HELLO I went to Stony Brook and a lot of Stony Brook students rotate through Queens Hospital (EM, OB-GYN, Surgery, etc) which is why they tend hire stony brook students. It is tough as a new grad trying to get into ED position in NYC area. However as a prior BI employee, a few exceptionals can get a job as a new grad in main ED and see critically ill patients, but be aware IT WILL BE ROUGH for the first year. You will be under constant stress and pressure, although you won't regret the valuable experience later on as a starting EM-PA. So here it goes: Beth Israel Medical Center (Kings Highway Division) in Brooklyn, NY is hiring a full-time EM-PA for Main ED position (NOT FAST TRACK). It is a busy community hospital. Motivated new grad, we are willing to train but prefer at least 1 year experience as EM-PA. If interested, please send me a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
