Episode notes

If you’re a PA who’s curious about non-clinical income (or you’ve wondered if there’s a real path out of full-time clinical work) this episode is your starting point.

Kristin sits down with Susan Ferrero, a PA with 20 years of experience who built a full-time career in medical-legal consulting through expert witness work and behind-the-scenes case review for attorneys. She also sits on the board for the American Association of PAs in Legal Medicine.

Inside, you’ll hear:

  • What expert witness work actually is (and what attorneys hire you to do)
  • The difference between testifying as an expert vs behind-the-scenes medical record review
  • Realistic hourly rate ranges for PAs and what affects pricing
  • Whether you need to be practicing clinically to qualify (and why it varies)
  • How attorneys find experts  ...
