In this episode, Erin and I address how COVID-19 has truly impacted the PA profession. Employment challenges during the pandemic have been real — furloughs of experienced practitioners, hiring difficulties for new graduates, and a job market tilted toward employers.
We dig into the kinds of jobs and contracts being offered to PAs during the pandemic, how to evaluate a contract before accepting, the impact of taking a below-market-value job with limited benefits on the broader PA community, and how burnout is hitting job performance.
