Hi everyone! I am about a year in to working as a PA and I am curious about any ways to alleviate eye strain. I typically wear contact lenses to work and by the end of the day I feel like I can't focus my eyes on anything 😅. Eye doctor suggested wearing glasses a couple times a week or using a slightly weaker prescription of contacts with readers. I got prescription Stoggles to see if that would help but so far no luck, and getting a whole different contact lens prescription seems annoying. Any suggestions??

I’m about to take the plunge and try out traveling for a bit. I need your most brutally honest opinions on it. The good, the bad, the ugly. I’ve been going back and forth for a while wanting to do this and I have finally reached a breaking point. I have a call with a recruiter this week to pick their brain. I’ve talked to a few friends who do it, I’m trying to gather as much info as possible. What do you like about it, what do you hate about it. Working with a company? How long is a typical contract? How long do you take off between contracts? Is the money as good as it seems?

Please help. We dont take photos in my lab

is it the volume of cases? are the universities seeing the revenue it can bring in? is there a PA shortage?

hi everyone, I have an interview next week at utmb and I was wondering what the process was like for onboarding after you get hired? I know that you have to do a health screening and stuff like that but is it just the vaccines or is it a full physical like with height, weight , blood pressure, and heart rate?
