What do you think of this role? Something you'd be interested in? Or does it sound like a nightmare job to you!

Love your channel. How do I search for this position or keywords? Everything but what Im looking for populates when searching Peer to Peer Specialist. Is there another title?

As mentioned in the video, this is a rare job at this point. If a PA or NP was interested in doing this, they would likely need to pitch the idea to large medical centers. You would want to revisit that part of the video where she explains how someone would go about doing that. Having said that, If the organization this PA works at advertises an opening for this type of work, I would imagine they would use Peer to Peer Specialist. Thanks so much for watching and I am happy to hear that you enjoy the channel!

Oddly enough, after posting this video, I happened to see a job within Medical Industry that revolves around the Peer to Peer process! Here is the link to help you understand what you could do with this experience. www.jobs.abbott/us/en/job/31086798/Clinical-Market-Access-Senior-Supervisor?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1OZxEYoKEJXmH8g2sfc9i9U5cNQiCeGkWFW46a2ebaouYkd1ia0AnoDp0_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw

According to the post, "the base pay for this position is $72,700.00 - $145,300.00". This is for 5 days/week and 25% travel and the rest in office, not remote. The post states they prefer RN license. It may work for someone who is burnt out in clinic, probably a good position for an actual RN who is tired of working at a hospital. Thank you for posting this as it makes me feel grateful for my clinic schedule. In my specialty, 3 1/2 days a week is full time, but it's my particular company that only hires highly experienced APP's. It took me almost 10 years to get there. It's definitely great to have more options for our profession, so companies will need to treat us well to keep us in clinical positions.

How is this different from utilization management?

[@TheMedicineCouch]

I'm not familiar with utilization management roles, but from a quick job board search it looks like these positions are not staffed with medical providers. In order to complete a peer to peer, by definition, it has to be done by a medical provider. There is a certain level of medical knowledge that is necessary to be able to pick up the chart of a patient this is not yours, understand all the factors influencing the decision to order the test whether they are explicitly written out or not, and then be able to argue the point with a doctor from the insurance company. There may be other deferences, but I can't really compare or contrast because I don't know all the aspects of a utilization management position.

What do U think about medicinal cannabis for oncology?

[@TheMedicineCouch]

In general, I think it can be a good thing to help people. However, I have not researched it and I don’t work with it, so I can’t really give an educated opinion. I do have a couple of thoughts though. One is that the cannabis available today is much stronger than the cannabis that used to be available, which can be concerning and part of the reason why I think that we are seeing more negative side effects nowadays. The other thought is that I really wish cannabis would be studied more. I think it could potentially have good medical benefits.
