SurgPA30 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Hey everyone, New grad PA here and I have a couple interviews with the department of surgery at Jersey City Medical Center. I was wondering if anyone has any insight into the work environment/culture and pay at this hospital or within the RWJ Barnabas health system as a whole. Thanks in advance!

LadyNichiavelli Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I absolutely loved rotating there for my surgery rotation as a student! I spent about two months there and had so much autonomy, even as a student! JCMC is a VERY PA-friendly facility overall. From what I remember, the PAs there also have to be a part of the neurosurgery team, and do shifts in the SICU after a probationary period. The residents are mainly the ones in the OR, which sucks if you want OR time (but you can fight for it). But because they’re all in the OR, the PAs run pretty much everything else. Including running the traumas that come in! They had so much responsibility, but it was great and I totally would’ve applied to work there in another life where I’m a PA that likes surgery, lol. Anyway, congratulations and good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
