Randyjt Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Hello all, I have been a PA for 34 years, mostly Family Practice but also Urgent Care and ER. That is referred to now as "seasoned" rather than just old. I guess it lies somewhere near retirement and before death  Seriously I know I have a lot of good working years left in me and I love being a PA so why give it up. I was just thinking I would like to do it somewhere else other than the US for a change of pace. Does anyone know where to search for jobs in the Caribbean of some place similar in climate? I can't say I want to go too far away (ie Africa, Europe, etc)  just somewhere that perhaps offers new adventure without limiting practice skills. Any ideas or advice is appreciated. Thanks, Rjt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmj11 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Puerto Rico might be an easy choice (see below) as US PA laws apply. I've learned the hard way that it is difficult to find a position in a country that does not recognize PAs. I applied for the State Department gig decades ago and at times I wish I had taken the position. However, the caveat (at that time at least) was that assignments were based on seniority, so new comers rarely had a choice where they were assigned. https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=Physicians Assistant&l=Puerto Rico&mna=5&aceid&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0umSBhDrARIsAH7FCof7ip_OaM5xt8wQLTbKGjMZHNI1QtyX5E_QsbyCnK6cPGGc23BNWmwaAkAIEALw_wcB&vjk=4fb8f78e92ca1e61 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First assignment is generally Africa, then eastern Europe or south America, then one has enough seniority to request choice assignments. A friend of mine landed Berlin as his third assignment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
