r/DermatologyPA

Derm PA for 1.5 years and I still have a hard time with rashes. How do you guys differentiate between tinea and let’s say nummular eczema? I know the classic features but in practice I find it so hard. I even try doing KOH and those seem to be a hit or miss. I end up giving a topical steroid and have them come back in 2 weeks or let me know if it’s getting worse before? Any help is appreciated. Makes me feel like I suck as a PA.

TIA

After years of trying, finally got a Derm position offer.
I was wondering if this is a decent contract.
150k base, 25% net receivable quarterly.
I need to generate at least 150 K net receivable quarterly before I see anything above my usual salary.
I really don’t have any idea how much a derm PA would generate.
What concerns me is that there’s 120 day requirement if I am to leave the practice or there’s a $ penalty.
20 days PTO
1000 CME

Soon to be new grad very much interested in derm. Getting offers in other procedure heavy specialties - Maybe even able to gain some cosmetic experience that could be marketable to a Derm (not Botox or filler etc)

Have interviewed at a very prestigious institution that seems like it would be a great/supportive learning environment(not in Derm). My only real hesitation is location.

If I get an offer, should I take or try to wait it out for a potential derm job?

What are my chances in 1-2 years without derm experience?

Won't dox myself here or hire through this platform, but my group is thinking of hiring a part timer. Which are the best avenues to find applicants? I've heard indeed is good, maybe LinkedIn. Is it worth it to pay the fee to view candidates or post on the SDPA as a non member specifically looking to fill a position?

Anyone doing surveys to make extra money?
If so- what site recommendations do you have? Also, how much are you typically making?
Plus if there’s any specifics for dermatology.
