mickey83 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I graduate in August and I'm considering moving to Florida. I have been casual searching job post and wanted to know what the difference was between PA I, II and III? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAFL12 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Not sure what the PA I II and III means but stay the hell away from Florida. The market is absolutely horrendous here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT2PA Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Likely years of experience and there's no universal answer. Each hospital/employer/city/state/etc can call it whatever they want. As a new grad, assume you only qualify as a PA 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The market is absolutely horrendous here. I’ve read through some of the previous post regarding the job market and most of the post talked about south Florida specifically. What part of Florida are you referring too? My significant other is in the military and eventually we will end up in Florida (Jacksonville area). Just not sure if it will be next year or in 3 years but it’s coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAFL12 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 The entire east coast is saturated. From Vero Beach to Miami, it’s pretty bad. West coast is slightly less so but the issue is that we have s ton of schools churning out new grads. The few offers that you do come across have a tendency to low ball you because they know they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PACShrink Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I hate to disagree with my colleagues but, there are jobs in SWFL. I think it is dependent on your specialty and setting. I can tell you with 100% confidence that there are (and probably will always be) plenty of jobs for Psychiatry PAs. It offers a great deal of autonomy and it can be very rewarding. The practice I work part time for is always hiring. They have multiple locations and contracts and they are opening new offices as the practice grows.

Yes, south FL is saturated due to the PA schools. North Florida has strong demand. Can not speak for SW coast though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
