MyNameWasUsed Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hello all, does anybody have credible statistics about PA residency vs nonresidency PA such as salary differences of first official year of working, knowledge gained, satisfaction, GPA requirements, etc. I've been googling for hours and havn't really found that many sources with legit statistics especially on salary differences. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT2PA Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 You probably won't find much. Relative to the # of PAs that graduate, those that do residencies are comparably very small. Hard to do a lot of analyzing with a small sample size and a never ending string of variables to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SERENITY NOW Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I don't believe there are any out there for exactly the reasons mentioned above. Check out this thread from a while back that asks the same question and has some really good discussion on the topic: http://www.physicianassistantforum.com/index.php?/topic/19564-statistics-on-pa-residency-advantages/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike mike Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I completed a residency and I can say it allowed me to work with a lot of autonomy in a patient population that is very complex. Countless times over the past year where patients were too sick for the providers at other hospitals and were sent to our facility where the PA's/NP's run the CCU. Very satisfying to be able to tune up these folks when the docs at another hospital have thrown their hands up. Regarding pay: I will just say I'm sure I'm making more than I would if I didn't complete a residency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
