RURALMED Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Hello experienced PAs! I just recently received what I believe to be an ideal position in a rural clinic in WA. The small clinic is brand new with a family physician there 1 day a week. If I accept the position, I would start off working at larger clinic with a residency program and gradually move into the solo provider role after 1 year. The following offer is for full-time Monday-Friday (40 hours/week) without call: - Salary: 95k with incentive bonus (not expecting one my first year) -Relocation/bonus: 10k, partial repayment if I leave before the 3 year contract. -401K with 6% employer contribution - PTO : 21 days first year, 25 second, and then 1 extra day/year up to max of 30. -CME : 3,000 with 5 paid days off. - Full medical, dental, vision, and life insurance - Malpractice with life-time tail coverage (FTCA) - Paid license, DEA, and 3 professional organization memberships - 3 years contract My only concern is the thought of eventually running solo. Thanks in advance for your advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralER/Ortho Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 3 year contract is rough, but otherwise very solid. What is your experience? Full time solo may unreasonable at 1 year, but this depends in clinic set up, how easy is the doc to reach, etc. Congrats on the offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My background is limited to 2 years of telemedicine and 3 years of CNA work. My work in telemedicine has made me just as comfortable with telephone support vs on-site support. The main clinic which ~30 minutes away is staffed with 4 attending physician dedicated only to teaching residents and providing telephone support.

Administrator rev ronin Posted March 26, 2016 Administrator Share Posted March 26, 2016 Sounds like an interesting setup. Mind PM'ing me where this is? I'd love to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajnelson Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Sounds interesting. The only thing I'd want to be sure of (especially with your lack of experience), is to make sure that if you don't feel ready to be solo at one year you aren't forced.
