What Are the Prospects for Physician Assistant Jobs in Rural and Inner-City Type Clinics?

By : Wanda Edwards

Rural and inner-city type clinics are always popular with any medical personnel, given that they are usually within close distance to their homes. In fact, the prospects for physician assistant jobs in these areas are on the rise because of many reasons.

Inner-city and rural type clinics find it exceptionally hard to keep doctors for longer than a couple of days a week. That is why finding physician assistant jobs in these areas tend to be much easier, especially if you are willing to relocate or travel further to get to work. In fact, there are other reasons that you should consider positions in these regions:

* retiring doctors at clinics, rural or inner-city, are harder to replace
* doctors at clinics, rural or inner-city, may not get paid as well for their services due to the lower numbers of patients
* doctors at clinics, rural or inner-city, may have too many patients to deal with and are very overworked as a result
* many clinic doctors may have their own private practice elsewhere
* many clinic doctors may work there part-time whilst working the majority of their time out of hospitals or other clinics

The reality is that physician assistant jobs in rural or inner-city type clinics tend to give you more chances to diversify and gain experience. Many practitioners find that these jobs at these clinics are usually full-time and given the hours that they are expected to work and the numbers of patients that they have to deal with, they are paid much better than those working out of other health facilities or organizations. However, they are not the most glamorous work environments, as many of the inner-city clinics deal with issues related to inner city living and a great majority of the patients may well be impoverished.
