PSPA1012 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I have about four months left to graduation, currently at an out of state PA program with plans to move to NYC after. If I hope to work at one of the big hospital systems in NYC, is it futile to put in job applications now as I have not already graduated? Would it be better to wait until I take my boards and move up there to hear back from anyone, or do they interview soon-to-be graduates too? Would appreciate any advice!

PRheePA Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Hey, PSPA1012! I'm a fresh PA grad (just passed the PANCE 2 weeks ago!). I'm not from NY, but I can tell you that in California, I applied to hospitals before graduating. I went through interviews and accepted a tentative offer in EM, given that I graduate and pass the PANCE in time. Hospital credentialing can take a while so I was able to review some of the initial documents with the tentative offer so that when I eventually did go through credentialing, the process would be quick and smooth. I'll be starting my job in ~1 month. I hope a similar scenario can work out with you in NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typophsyco Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I applied to several jobs before graduating and had interviews/offers in the NYC area. Doesn't hurt to start. Worst case is that they tell you to call back after you graduate/pass the PANCE/ get your license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
