Is anyone working with this combination. I realize it would be a different
job then working as a pharmacist but would becoming a PA be a loss in pay or
an upgrade?

I am a healthcare risk management consultant in Seattle, who works with many
pharmacists and PA's, in the inpatient, outpatient and retail settings.
Based on average salaries in the Pacific Northwest, the typical pharmacist
earns significantly more than the typical PA.

I once considered this combo, but you would probably take a loss in
salary and work more hours, thus, I didn't do it.
