AhmedRehman Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Hi my name is Ahmed Rehman and Im a college student that attends Suffolk Community College. Im here to ask if there is any Physician Assistants around my area that are willing to allow me to shadow them. I was really interested in this career path since at a young age and I would love to shadow during the summer. I live around in East Patchogue and Brookhaven. Thank you.

ConnorM1997 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 It's really hard to find a PA to shadow in a private office due to HIPPA. Your best bet is to volunteer at a hospital and once in, ask their dept about shadowing. And you'll always get volunteer hours and shadowing hours. Win win.

Because of the high demand, unless you know someone very closely, your chances of them letting you shadow them is slim (that is, there really isn't any benefit for the practitioners). I lived on Long Island (hempstead) & went to Hofstra (moved a few months ago). For our area, the whole Northwell Health system is HUGE on having scribes. Scribing for some programs is automatic write off for shadowing bc you work under PAs. On the other hand, you could have the PAs sign this form because by scribing, you're being paid to shadow and document everything they are doing. If you are interested in Hospitals in Northwell, look into Scribe America's company. They are the majority "supplier" of scribes for our region. I worked at Huntington Hospital which is a major hospital in the suffolk county region!! I worked for scribe america & got all my hours automatically written off for this, so if you have more questions feel free to DM me Edited July 28, 2020 by mands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
