rpackelly Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 A patient every 10 minutes for a new grad? I am glad you learned so much in PA school. Even with over 30 years of experience I find it grueling and not conducive to quality care to ever see more than four patients an hour, and I can only keep that up for seven hours or so.

marktheshark89 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 4-5 pts per hour is way too much to start as a new grad. To think you'll be ready to "run the clinic" after a few months is lofty at best and dangerous at worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ella.j Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 pretty high expectations of a new grad. i know some docs that start off new pa's with 30 minute slots even. i would hope the doc is practicing safe medicine that he wants a new grad to see so many per hour. u can make mistakes if u rush too much, especially for someone just out of school. u will be doing ure patients a service, too.

Administrator rev ronin Posted November 25, 2015 Administrator Share Posted November 25, 2015 i know some docs that start off new pa's with 30 minute slots even. I see 12 patients in an 8 hour day in family medicine. I don't get paid $60 an hour, but I gladly get paid less to actually practice medicine, relate to my patients as people rather than as conditions.

Timon Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I'm a new grad with a FM offer that I'll share with you since we're both in the same boat. $50 an hour w/ 5% annual bonus (raise will come when productivity increases approximately around 3-6 months after starting employment as a new grad) Full benefits (HMO / PPO as desired, 401k w/ 2% matching, $2k CME paid bi-annually regardless of CME costs). Malpractice insurance 10 days paid vacation 5 days sick time Hours 8:45-11:30 lunch then 1:45-4:30 (extra time that is missing is given for charting) No weekend / no call Optional can volunteer to work 1 Saturday morning a month Get my own scribe and my own MA that work directly with me 6 patients per half shift (so starting at 12 patients a day) will ramp up 2 an additional patients per half day until I reach 12 patients per half day + 2 phone appointments a day and up to 2 schedule adds each day PRN. So that's a potential of 26 patients max per day when fully operational. No more than 2 new patients scheduled in a day. With a scribe I'm expected to see 13 patients per half day when fully operational. Option to work urgent care and ER shifts (I'll be doing 4 days of FM and then 1 day dedicated to UC/ER) and also have the option of picking up hours after my day shift has ended to help close the urgent care (5pm-9pm). eClinical EMR UpToDate paid for by company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralER/Ortho Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Timon, solid offer there! Vacation is a little low, but sounds like a great set up overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted December 3, 2015 Moderator Share Posted December 3, 2015 once again new grads should start at 10-12 patients PER DAY any more then this is nuts and unsafe build up from there if your doc wants you to see 5 per hour - run away.... not even established PA's can maintain that (nor can established doc's) you are just a production machine to make $$$ at that point....

Moderator EMEDPA Posted December 3, 2015 Moderator Share Posted December 3, 2015 more than 3/hr is hard to do and unsustainable in the long run. working in fast track I can see 5-6/hr, but hate those days and much prefer the 2-3/hr pace of the main ER or even better 1-1.5/hr in a rural practice....

Crandidee Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Timon, is this FM offer from a large practice or even a hospital? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timon Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Timon, is this FM offer from a large practice or even a hospital? It's a practice that started 10 years ago with 3 physicians. In that time they now have 6 physicians, 4 PAs, 2 NPs and 28 support staff (HR, IT, MAs, etc) and recently opened 2 more location in the past year (4 locations now). So I'd say it's about a medium sized practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
