Mantics Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Anyone familiar with the Progressive Emergency Physicians Residency for PAs? I was perusing indeed and came across this. Not much info on the site beside filling out your contact information. The Indeed post said there's a 100K yearly stipend along with benefits, which sounds great for a residency!

karebear12892 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I'm not familiar with the program but out of curiosity I tracked down the post on indeed.com. I would be very surprised if the salary was really $100,000 per year. It says the program is 18 months and I suspect it's a $100,000 stipend distributed over the entire length of the program. That would put you around $65,000 per year, which is on par with what other residencies are paying, especially when you consider the COL in NY. I would contact them to verify this.

charlottew Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 This link may work: https://www.indeed.com/q-Emergency-Medicine-Physician-Assistant-l-Long-Island,-NY-jobs.html?vjk=f48096a90c7df303 Or, just google search 'long island progressive emergency PA". 100k yearly, 18 months, protected didactic time (allegedly), 'rotations' in different sections of the ED including obs unit. Don't know anything about it, aside from the ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndBulbsOfMouse Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 For a good experience, you need true “off service” rotations: ortho, radiology/ultrasound, trauma, micu, sicu, cards, etc etc. I wouldn’t go to a place that just uses you as cheap labor in the ED all the time. If they are just using you in the ED, that’s not much better than just getting on the job training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"all areas of the ED" means you do scut work for low pay it lots of parts of the ED without ever doing rotations in trauma, anesthesiology, u/s, ICU, etc. That is NOT a residency.

Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted December 25, 2018 Moderator Share Posted December 25, 2018 Yeah, this is not a residency. Hopefully we’ll regulate this term soon so crap like this have to call it what it is, a crap job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karebear12892 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Looks like the program has been active since 2015. If you're serious about applying, I would make every attempt to track down other PA's who have completed the program and ask for their honest feedback. If you can't find them on LinkedIn, email the residency director and ask him/her to put you in touch. If you're in the area, see if you can shadow a resident for a day. These are some of the most helpful things I've done throughout the residency application process in order to make informed decisions along the way. Good luck!

JMann Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 This sounds similar to the Baylor program in Houston. Like others have said, if there are not rotations outside of the ED, move along. Unless you were planning to work at this place anyway, then get an actual job with better pay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonguylandPA Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Hello, I am from long island and I have rotated in hospitals offering this program and I knew the "residents" in them. they were typically in fast track, and once in a while in main from what I saw this company typically staffs Catholic health services hospitals and from what ive been told, the pay is 40 an hour, and 18 months long. there are apparently formal lecture components that are mandatory and paid for I believe once a week. otherwise I dont believe it was a good offer compared to other ER positions in the NYC area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
