Brother you're not clickbaity at all. You're right to not get too caught up in salary but it is important so thank you for being transparent with it. I've never been a fan of how taboo it is to talk about money.

[cowslane]

Someone gave you a thumbs down - that's how you know your channel is growing! :D Thanks for the great content. Seems like you do a lot of research for these videos.

[Jess-cwgi]

I didn't know PAs could work in anesthesiology

[frazahmed]

Amazing video! As a high school junior, I’m looking forward to becoming a PA and your videos are helping me learn more about the career 😃

[HolyVega]

Your channel is going to blow up bro I just know it. Keep it up!

[OmarAbdulMalikDHEdMPASPACPAPro]

Hi John. I mentioned this video in one of MY videos. I hope you don't mind. I think you do a better job of covering this topic than I do.😁💰 Keep up the great work you're doing!👋🏾👨🏽‍⚕️

[noahgates]

Great video man, I’m getting ready to apply this cycle and these types help so much, not just for the money but to learn about all the different avenues PAs have, what we should look for in contracts and everything else. Keep grinding the channel dude! 🤙
Maybe do little videos some time on just a quick break down of roles, duties and more of some of these specialties like cardio, derm, UC, etc

[iSkateFast]

[connorb]

Very helpful, thank you! It's nice just to know all of the PA surgery specialties. It'd be great to get more info on surgical PA responsibilities

[vlr]

[ricksykes]

[nidal]

Very informative video. I did not know about quite a few of these specialties, especially the physical medicine specialty.

[kuddusjajira]

This channel deserve more subscriptions!

[torianswilson]

I appreciate you being transparent about the numbers. Once we can work out numbers we can feel free to assess the other things. Thank you!

Great video M8 as a new grad who has worked in a hospital and a private practice I definitely recommend working for a private practice as you can negotiate pay based on production. Seeing more patients should always = more pay. I began working in a private practice seeing 20 patients a day and now see close to 50-60 a day. My salary has grown by $65k in 4 months. Patient satisfaction plays a huge role as well. Great video overall. Subscribed 👌🏾👌🏾

[teeteefree]

Bro...great video. Very informative. The medical field is our oyster as Physician Associates. The pay scale is so vast. I can't wait!
