Endocrinology?

Yes, PAs can specialize. About half of them don't (they work in primary care). Here's the place to ask and answer about specialties and specialization.

Endocrinology?

Post by KateD » Fri Sep 30, 2011 5:04 pm

Any PAs out there in Endocrinology? I see they have an association! Their FAQ handout was pretty cool basically outlining how hiring a PA can be beneficial, but I was wondering if anyone has completed a rotation as a student or are currently working in the field.... do the PAs still play a vital role in diagnosing? Or more followup, etc...?

I'm a long way off from pursuing any one direction.. just awfully curious about different specialties! :)

Yes, PAs diagnose - even in endocrinology. Obviously, the longer you work and the more knowledgeable you become, the more independently you\'ll be working to diagnose and treat. This is particularly true of the more complicated cases; experience will allow you to do more. Great that you found a PA association for endo. Maybe you could message through the site to get in touch with and endo PA.

I read a lot of my knowledge of kindergartens dollars. It is very nice and helpful about it.
