happysquirrel Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I started at an urgent care and did some training shifts- their policy is that you are not under contract during this and that the contract starts after (that way you actually know if you want to stay). Since you see patients during the training, they give you malpractice coverage + tail insurance which was great. Long story short, I left as it was not a good fit. It was meant for a seasoned provider and they stated that they didn't offer medical training and only EMR training. Since this happened, I left it off my resume because I was never under contract. I guess my worry is- was that okay to do? I just got hired and I know it'll show when I get credentialed (because credentialing occurred months before the trial period). I don't want to be seen like I was dishonest by not listing it. I literally left after the training shifts and immediately got an offer a week after somewhere else.

Cideous Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 how many shifts did you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happysquirrel Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 I worked a total of 2 shifts to learn the EMR and 5 additional ones. They give you a total of 8 so I left prior to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiovolffemtp Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I don't see that it would be a problem to omit it from your resume. The resume/CV is supposed to be a list of your major accomplishments, not everywhere you've ever been. For example, I had a part-time job at an urgent care. I did a few shifts at the internal medicine practice across the street owned by the same doc while the classmate who worked there was on maternity leave. I don't mention that, it's just too small. I doubt your few shifts at this UC would even come up or be detectable during credentialing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted May 29, 2021 Administrator Share Posted May 29, 2021 I think I'm still an employee of the local ambulance service where I was contracted to do direct EMT in-service training for a while, before they reached a memorandum of understanding with the county for them to host county-sponsored training. I think I did maybe 8-10 hours of training total for them 3 years ago... It's not on my CV, and I don't feel bad leaving it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happysquirrel Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Thank you both for your input! It has been a whirlwind of a month for me- from leaving UC to now getting hired onto EM. I figured if the credentialing specialist sees it, I'll just explain what happened. I appreciate your replies- still a new PA trying to navigate through the first years of practice.

Cideous Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 The one place that could out you is if they credentialed you through CAHQ. EVERY job you have had is generally listed there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAAdmission Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I leave all kinds of stuff off. I wouldn't sweat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happysquirrel Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Yes, the CAQH does show it and that's why I was initially worried about what to do since it was not on my resume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexapro Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Hmm. I've heard of people losing jobs because of things like this. If you were credentialed there then I'd make sure it's on your resume. Just explain you worked a few shifts and realized it wasn't an appropriate position for a new graduate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the application instructions are to include every job ever worked in X period, then yes, you could be fired for lying on the signed application. That's why some places specifically want you to list things on their application form, which will have those specific instructions, and will not accept a resume or CV in lieu of their application. But that wasn't the OIP's question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasPA28 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 If it's for a job that doesn't require hospital credentialing, then it's probably OK to leave off. But on a credentialing application, if you leave it off and they find out about it, not only are they likely to fire you but they are likely to report you to the NPDB too which will follow you for the rest of your life. Better just to put it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmj11 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 After a long career, and the first part during the difficult years of being a PA (1980s) and several job changes, I started to leave off one 6-month job and a moonlighting job for the sake of brevity. The only time it became an issue was when I was suing a hospital for breach of contract years later they tried to pin in on me during a deposition as if I were hiding something they had found during their "discover" phase. I gave them the phone number and told them to call the employers that were not mentioned on my CV (left both with good standings). It became a mute point and I prevailed in the case.

AbeTheBabe Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 If the job requires any credentialing you have to have it on there. Some places will rescind the offer if your CV doesn't match the credentialing application and you have to have ALL jobs in the credentialing application. But if you're applying to say a outpatient only solo practice you could leave it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanePark Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Can someone clarify what jobs can be omitted from a CV? Like what if you did a 2 month stint and the job was a fit. This part gets so confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some jobs I was credentialed and never worked - except I did some orientation sessions and online lessons. Never listed those anywhere. It shows up still on NPES and stuff, but no one ever mentioned them (on recent credentialing and re-crdentialing) Edited August 12, 2022 by practicingPAinNE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
