Kgphysicianassistant Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 When I started my job as a medical assistant, part of the initial involved me shadowing for a few weeks. Can I list these hours under shadowing? Some people say to not double dip, but I feel that this should count as shadowing hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caligal Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Did you shadow directly under a doctor or PA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nichole96 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 ^Doesn't matter, you can list shadowing anyone (I shadowed a flight medic and an NP in addition to PAs and MDs). @OP, the double dip just means you can only count those hours once. It sounds like you should list them under shadowing and then subtract those hours from your total MA hours. Make sense? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT2PA Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I'd list them as part of your HCE/PCE. It may have been 'shadowing' but it was part of your job training. As above - whatever you decide to list them as - make sure those hours only count once (i.e as shadowing OR job hours, not both). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
