vindeleon90 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hello I am a new grad in NY looking for an ortho job. I just passed my boards two weeks ago and I have already blasted my resume to dozens of hospitals/practices. Unfortunately 95% of the places I applied to prefer experience. I would prefer a Hospital setting as my first job so that I can work with a variety of doctors, learn how to manage fxs, dislocations, post op pts, etc. but I am becoming desperate from the wait that I am considering an office job. I am just worried because I will be missing out on an entire learning experience. For all my Ortho PAs, what is your opinion on starting off a career in a Hospital vs Office for Ortho. (one of the main things i want to do is 1st assist in OR) *sorry if this question has been answered somewhere in the blog, i just joined recently. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vindeleon90 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 If it comes down to it I will consider doing a residency program. As much as I do want to learn I also have a ton of loans to pay . I know that NYU would be a great place to learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
