My girlfriend is a PA and will be graduating in May of next year (04)
She plans to seek a job right away. She is most likely going to work in orthopedics or sports medicine.
We are pretty close and most likely won't break up anyime soon.
She has told me that she has 3 options after graduating.
Option 1: Get a job and work for her master's in education.
Option 2: Just get a job in a orthropedics office
Option 3 : Seek a residency in orthopedics in New York or Chicago.
We live in Buffalo and I know I will be busy during my third year of Med School. My question is.... Is a residency in orthopedics extremely important when working in the field, or will she gain the same knowledge by working in an orthropod's office.
The wy i saw it she will be able to do everything a resident would do, plus get paid more for doing it.
