Teacher2PAC Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I will be a new PA graduating in August 2020. I have a strong interest to work at CHOP after graduating. Are there any PAs on here who I can DM to see their experiences at CHOP? Thank you and I really appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT2PA Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Children's Hospital of Philly? (I googled). OP, that's super specific. Try posting in the state specific forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also known as the Philadelphia Organization for Rehabilitation of Kids. When used interchangeably, it becomes..... PORK CHOP.

Moderator EMEDPA Posted February 11, 2020 Moderator Share Posted February 11, 2020 I went to Hahnemann/Drexel in Philly, so I knew what the OP meant. Great facility. Hartford children's is good as well if looking into east coast peds facilities. I did an em rotation there in '95. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dphy83 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Anecdotally, it would probably be a great place to learn as it is a leading academic center. No clue about other aspects of practice, but working there for a year or two would likely be worthwhile, regardless, for the learning experience and name-brand that will be on your updated CV. You'll be a pro at working up the febrile neonate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have enough problems with other specialty's acronyms to learn abbreviations for hospitals in other cities.

Reality Check 2 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 The VA has a webpage devoted to acronyms - there are tooooooo many. They get old and easily confused. Glad someone knew what it meant. Old rumor was that San Francisco was going to name their transit system the Frisco Area Rapid Transit or.... FART. it got BART instead for Bay Area. I’m here all week. Tip your waiters..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCPAC Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Great challenging learning environment and mega resume booster but you’ll get paid shit because it’s academic and let’s face it most academic places think you should feel oh so honored to work there and therefore accept less pay. If you choose to go, get the experience for a few years and then use as leverage to earn more at your next job Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teacher2PAC Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Thank you all for your responses, I appreciate it. Sorry about bombarding you all with a new acronym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
