This is my experience of attending physician assistant school, graduating and working as a PA-C. Mostly. I'll talk about the daily grind too - hopefully some of it will be interesting. Post a comment, please. Even if it is just to say hi or to ask a question. I am a busy PA-C, so I may not respond promptly, but I will eventually. This blog is as much for me as it is for you. Or is that the other way around?

Family Medicine part 2
I like family medicine. I have a good practice with pretty darn good co-workers for the most part. I am liked and respected for the most part by my colleagues. I have patients who really like me and I've seen some who don't care for me one bit. I have my own standards and can stick to them. If I don't want to prescribe XYZ, then I don't have to. I am getting great experience and exposure to myriad conditions and pathologies. I actually get a paid lunch hour to eat and complete admin tasks. I only have to drive 15 minutes to work now instead of an hour. My pay is a little low, I have to work a night or weekend here or there and I have to take call without compensation. My stress is very low now. I have a great MA now. I have actually saved patient's lives. I like family medicine.
