Hello everyone,
I am a practicing PA in a cardiothoracic surgical ICU currently, since
graduating from PA school 2 years ago. I'm looking into quitting my
job and doing some overseas volunteering, anywhere from 3-6 months,
before returning and re-evaluating my next career move (ICU is burning
my spirit out:). I'd ideally like to go to either Africa, India, or
Nepal. I've been researching various organizations but there are SO
many posted different places and its very difficult to sort them out
and know if they really know how to use a PA effectively, and if it
would be a good experience for me. Does anyone know personally of a
good organization or person that does overseas work that could utilize
a PA for 3-6 months? I am more interested in a grassroots initiative,
and in more of a rural setting preferably.
Thanks for any information!
Jennifer
