BAEandi20 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Anyone working in a Peds ED? Curious what the scope of practice is for PA's in pediatric EDs. Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiovolffemtp Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I don't do peds EM, I do general EM, which includes a fair bit of peds. The peds EM sites I've researched had a pretty limited scope of practice for their PA's: low acuity and lots of simple procedures. By comparison, I've handled much sicker kids and more complicated procedures on kids: joint and fracture reductions and complicated repairs in a general ED.

Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted September 16, 2019 Moderator Share Posted September 16, 2019 My buddy works in a peds ED at Erlanger I’m Chattanooga. I’m not sure if he can see anything, but he sees a lot. Pretty broad autonomy and paid pretty damn well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
