If you just graduated PA school, or are about to, and want to learn how to rock your first year in medicine, keep reading!
Hey there! My name is Elio Stone, and it wasn't too long ago I was graduating from PA school too. All I knew then was I had to take the PANCE, and I really did not have a clue what to do after that! I felt lost, confused, scared, and I just jumped at the first job I found. Now, after 10 years of being a PA (and making many mistakes along the way), I have learned a great deal about the ins and outs of the profession. I have put together this book of real-world PA wisdom in the hopes it will help new PAs truly succeed in not only that 1st year but for the remainder of their career as well! In this book, you will discover:
- Which physicians to work with (and which ones to avoid)
- How to turn your learning into even more earning
- Who the different healthcare players are, and how to approach them
- The easiest ways to find the right job
- The secret to working well with Nursing
- How to develop relationships that open up more lucrative doors
- The single most important skill that makes you invaluable to your Physician
- How to master the Physician-PA relationship
- How to choose between a surgical or medical specialty
- What to know about getting paid for call
- How to deal with all the new money you'll be making
I have personally witnessed countless PA colleagues go through all these same challenges, we all do! The good news is there is no reason to reinvent the wheel. I have been practicing in Orthopedic Surgery for the last decade and have learned all these things the hard way. You don't have to struggle as much as I did my first year, the easier way is found in the pages of this book!
