Your PA Mentor - From Physician Assistant Student to PA-C

By: Sami Ngo
  • Summary

  • Welcome to Your PA Mentor podcast. I am Sami Ngo, your host and fellow Physician Assistant, and I am here to help you navigate your way to fulfilling PA career. At 26 years old, I landed my dream job as a brand new graduate right out of PA school without even realizing it. All because I had an incredible mentor who guided me through my first few years as a clinician.My mentor completely changed my life and how I practice medicine. He didn’t just teach me clinical medicine. He taught me how to love the art of medicine, how to develop work/ life balance, how to avoid burnout, and most importantly. how to truly love and continue to love my profession. Because of him, I became the confident Physician Assistant that I am today. And that is why I have made it my mission to help PA students and new graduates navigate their way through the Physician Assistant profession with advice, strategy and tools to a fulfilling career as a PA.

  • What to Expect During the Onboarding Process of Your New Job
    May 10 2021

    Onboarding process is the training process of a new job.

    Most new grads don’t ask about the onboarding process during their interview and EKKKKK! They find themselves drowning when they are thrown into a full schedule without proper training or supervision.

    Typically, the onboarding process can be anywhere from a few weeks to a few months depending on the job.

    Your training period in OB/GYN will be completely different from your training period in family medicine.

    In this weeks podcast episode, Erin and I will answer all your burning questions:

    ✔️ What should I expect during my onboarding process?

    ✔️ Should I accept a lower hourly rate during this training process?

    ✔️ How long should I be “in training” until I can see a full patient schedule?
