PAinPenna Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Looking for input on how others like/ dislike this specialty? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photograph51 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I have only been working in this specialty for a couple of months and this is my first PA job. I like that I feel like I'm really making a difference in my community and in people's lives in so many different ways- not just medical, but with things like making it possible for people to remain employed, get custody of their children, work on their mental health, lower the crime rate, etc. I work with great people- it seems like people who go into this field are people who really care. With the implementation of the Substance Use Disorder Workforce Loan Repayment Program, I am hoping to get help with my student loan debt. I also like the routine nature of the work. I am concerned about the narrow focus, so I am trying to keep up with studying other areas of medicine so I don't get rusty on everything else.

hrubenstein Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Being in recovery I have always had an interest in this type of work, would like to hear if anyone has any experience in this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAinPenna Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 I’ve been moonlighting in Addiction Medicine and genuinely enjoy it . Just wanted some input as I’m considering full time there now . Gotta say that so far it seems to be a much better gig than Family Medicine so I do appreciate the info !
