I am employed

Well I don't start until 10/18 but I have a job. I will be working in occupational medicine in a small clinic that handles people working in meat packing plants and agriculture, among other things. The physician I'll be working with is really quite nice and likes to teach, and has experience in ortho and neuro surgery. I'll be getting paid a lot more than I ever hoped to coming out of school too. I never would have told anyone I wanted to go into occ med a month ago but I am happy to have the opportunity to make a good living and learn medicine. There will be lots of procedures to perform which is cool. It feels more like occ med/urgent care so I think it will be able to carry my interest. The drive will be long (50 min, all rural highway, interstate), but no longer than when i worked in heath insurance (one hour for 19 miles of interstate highway!). I'll keep posting even though the blog is no longer about becoming a PA. Now it'll be about becoming a confident and effective PA.
