sscheinfe Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I'm looking for a new direction in my life and career...I was wondering if anyone knoew of any off-the-beaten-path opportunities? I used to be an EMT and would love a "flight-PA" position, if such a thing exists... But generally looking for any unusual opportunity... Maybe a clinic in a wilderness or national park setting? Not sure where I'm going with that one... :o Basically looking for anythjing non-traditional that doesn't involve sitting in a windowless office all day. Certainly would be open to anything domestic or even international...though I don't know of any internation opportunties that aren't stricly volunteer/short term, so feel free to enlighten me... Any leads would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treejay Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I just saw that a PA is the sole medical provider on Midway Island, way out in the middle of the Pacific. I think this island is administered by the US Fish & Wildlife service, but not sure who the PA works for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonlegit Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I'm curious about RMI myself. Not looking for a position next week necessarily, just really interested in exactly what kind of work they do. Would be an interesting dream for the future. Anyone have any experience with them or familiar with what sort of PA positions they have? I have read about the Midway job, and realize what a contractor in Iraq does, but I am interested in the middle ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
