What areas of medicine genuinely interest you? You should also consider demand and WLB. I suggest chatting with other PAs in that specialty and maybe shadowing them to get a real feel for the day-to-day. Also, be aware of any additional training or certifications needed. When I chose dermatology, these steps helped me make an informed decision and find a path I love. Good luck with your journey!

Hello all,

I'm a PA in the PNW working for a private group staffing ED's in several hospitals. Recently the group has asked the PA's to take on a couple new roles (triaging and rapid track from triage i.e. straightforward ESI 4, 5). With these changes the PA's are considering asking for increased pay in the form of an addition of a COLA (cost of living adjustment) to our normal salary. Was wondering if any other PA's in the ED have these in their contracts and at what rate.

-Thanks
