THIS IS A NON - PROFIT ENDEAVOR
to unite dermatologists seeking to hire a Certified Physician Assistant with PAs seeking positions in that specialty, no fees to the MDs or to the PAs; and to provide helpful information to both for a successful union. See a list of free handouts below.
DERMATOLOGISTS:
(1) for a FREE list of PAs seeking a DERMATOLOGY, COSMETICS, PLASTICS, MOHS, or DERMATOLOGIC SURGERY position in your state, email me at: monroejo@swbell.net. The info you will receive will have FULL contact info for the PAs whom you may contact directly. Your contact info will be added to my job list which is requested daily by many PAs.
(2) for answers to ALL your questions, please visit my old website, http://www.pacifier.com/~jomonroe where you will find all kinds of helpful information about hiring and working with PAs, derm magazine articles about such, and many free handouts you can request, including contract samples, salary info, how to sucessfully integrate the new PA into your dermatology practice and a list of your own colleagues who will personally answer more questions.
PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS:
(1) For free info on jobs for PAs in the above listed specialities, including FULL contact info for those jobs, email me at: monroejo@swbell.net. After filling out a short "mini-resume" form for me, you may then contact/fax your resume directly to the dermatology practices of your choice. Dermatologists repeatedly ask me for this "list" of mini resumes. I have replied to over 3,000 requests by derm practices.
(2) for lots of helpful information about working in the dermatology, cosmetics, derm surgery fields, why derm PAs love their jobs so, the HISTORY of DERM PAs, great dermatology education websites, derm patient support, and dermatology Physician Assistant self-study info, etc., visit the same website, http://www.pacifier.com/~jomonroe, or email me.
HOWEVER, while that website above contains lots of helpful information for DERMATOLOGISTS and PAs alike, the old JOB LIST SECTION is no longer kept currrent. You must request the current job list by email.
I am not a recruiter. Again, I charge no fees to docs or Physician Assistants; I profit from nothing. I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 16 YEARS.
I am no longer affiliated with the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants, an organization I co-founded with Joe Monroe in 1992. I do not speak on their behalf. I am not a PA.

SALARY QUESTIONS: Ask for "How To Calculate a Derm PA's Worth" - fill in the blanks and calculate the net profit to the practice and salary/bonus structure. Other free handouts available on "Successful Integration of a PA into a Derm Practice" and , for PAs, salary surveys and salary negotiation experiences of other PAs.
CONTRACTS: You may request a sample contract for a dermatology PA, a formal one and an informal one--while I am not a lawyer, it is a start. Always consult with a contract lawyer so there are no misunderstandings. I would not recommend beginning a job without a 1-yr contract. As always contact the American Academy of Physician Assistants, www.aapa.org for lots of information on contracts and help with hiring a PA. For professional contract help, contact ABBY JACOBSON, abbyjpa. I am not affiliated with her in ANY way, butdo highly recommend her services!!! @comcast.net
Of course, there is invaluable information at the American Academy of PAs: www.aapa.org
and the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants: www.sdpa.org
