Anyone have suggestions or good resources for a new PA moving to the Seattle Tacoma area, looking for work, licensing in WA, etc?
 
WA is a great state to work in as a pa. laws are good, medical board likes us, plenty of jobs.
ask specific questions over at the pa forum and they will be viewed by MANY pa's who work in wa

what specialty is your wife/gf interested in?

Thanks, you are always reliable for solid advice.

She is interested in EM or general urgent care, or even family practice. SHe was an ICU RN and CCRN, with some time im the ER, so she knows what sick looks like. My instinct is still to order a CT and then consult.
 
this is a good place to start:

with her background she shouldn't have a problem finding a job in wa.
do ask over at the pa forum though as there are lots of wa folks there as well.

northwest emergency physicians has a lot of pa jobs in wa and group health (the big hmo up there) does as well.
also check with each of the major seattle medical ctrs as they all use pa's.
