chasingthatPAdream Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I am still looking for my first job as a certified Physician Assistant, but since I do not want to lose medical knowledge while I am applying, is it ok if I shadow? I don't have liability insurance nor do I plan on submitting a form to the state board listing a supervising physician since it is not employment and is only shadowing. Is this fine? What would the scope of the shadowing experience look like? May I take a history from patients and discuss the assessment and plan with the doctor without examining patients? How would I list this shadowing experience on my resume? Thank you SO much for taking the time to reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmood Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I think this sounds bizarre. If it’s taking you so long to find a job that you’re in danger of having a suspicious gap on the resume, you should consider looking in another specialty or location. Pick up something less than ideal but workable, part time, whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasingthatPAdream Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 @greenmoodI agree. For that reason, I started expanding my search to other specialties, but I was fortunate to finally receive a job offer in my desired subspecialty just one day ago. Thanks for responding.
