Believe Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 that is a very short training period that raises a red flag especially because you have less than 9 months total exp and haven't worked this kind of medicine. How many patients per day on avg? Solo provider raises an even bigger red flag. Doesn't sound like the best environment for a new grad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tn206 Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 They state the clinic sees between 12-25 patients on average in a 12 hour shift. Max was 35. The short training period also worries me... They say that the supervising physician is always available and I can always call the other UCs to speak with the provider there. Still makes me nervous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbeTheBabe Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Cold/flu season is coming up. Solo provider is a no-no with someone so new. You want to be stuck seeing 30 patients in 1 day in a month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal_PA Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Everything looks good except the solo coverage. I am not one of those PAs who needed their hand to be held but this is new for you. You will need someone to talk to a few times/day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
