Geisinger reviews

PAs are provided very little opportunity for advancement. Perhaps that is the culture generated by our profession as *dependent* practitioners. As the system becomes more academic in nature, PA autonomy has decreased; responsibilities that were once soley the PA's, are now within the pervue of residents and many of us have been relegated to support positions with responsibilities that are neither personally nor professionally rewarding. This is most unfortunate.

As a rural employer, Geisinger has a lock on many of the communities it serves. Geisinger is the largest employer in several of its locations. Because the system is Provider driven, the pace of change is slow and methodical throughout the Geisinger ecosystem.
