230: [WORK] 10 More Important Things Than Salary When Choosing a Job Oct 26, 2023

Show notes

I’m about to say the 5 little words that we rarely ever ask, but we all want to know… “How much do you make?”

It’s no secret that certain PA specialties earn more money than others. Certain specialties (dermatology, cardiothoracic surgery and others) are often the ones that top those top paying PA specialty lists. But before you rush to check out those top pay lists, it’s crucial to first ask yourself IF pay is what matters most to you.

In this episode we are exploring 10 things (other than salary) to consider before choosing a job and a specialty.

Whether you’re a seasoned clinician with years of experience under your belt or a new graduate at the beginning of your career, this episode is packed with valuable insights about non-salary benefits of working as a PA. You’ll walk away with renewed hope in the compensation you’re already getting and a framework to determine which of those things matter most to you.

229: [UNICORN] Finding Your Place as a PA on the Medicine Couch Oct 19, 2023

Show notes

Have you struggled to find your fit in medicine as a PA? Have you jumped between medical specialties or practices trying to find the right fit for you and how you want to practice medicine? Have you thought about leaving clinical practice all together?

Join us today to hear from Michele Cambron, a PA and host of her own YouTube channel, The Medicine Couch. Michele struggled to find the right job for her after she graduated PA school, changing jobs three times in her first 2 years as a practicing PA. This led her to start The Medicine Couch, where she interviews other PAs and NPs in a variety of specialties, as well as in medicine-adjacent non-clinical careers.

Michele discusses how she was able to change her mindset when she started feeling like a failure so soon after graduation and how she channeled her desire to learn about the wide world of medicine into starting her YouTube channel. Listen in to learn how you can find your right fit as a practicing PA.

224: [WORK] How to Feel Competent and Confident in Your Next Negotiation Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

This ONE skill will help you to earn more money, work less hours, and have more compliant patients?! It sounds too good to be true, right? But I’ve seen (and used) this skill for myself.

Negotiation is NOT something that we learn in clinical or didactic learning in PA school. In fact, it’s often skipped over completely in our PA education!

Basically, the skills you need to be able to increase your paycheck are the same skills that your patients are waiting for you to learn in order to get them to take their meds and go see that specialist.

On The PA Is In today we are learning how and when to use negotiation as a part of your career, how to use negotiating to make strategic moves so that you can spend your energy making those moves.

It is seriously a crucial skill to add to your toolbox and I cannot wait to share it with you.

Show notes

Someday someone is going to ask you to prove your value as a clinician. Knowing your objective value as a healthcare provider will help you to negotiate, pitch a new workflow, increase the care your patients are receiving and help your administrators to understand just what you do.

Tracking your numbers is information that is incredibly valuable. Knowing your revenue helps you to strategically apply yourself and take the opportunity to share that value with others.
