I know how it feels to love medicine but hate what it’s doing to you.For so many of us, it’s not that we want to quit medicine — we just want more control, more flexibility, and a way to build something of our own.
This week’s video is a game-changer. I interviewed a PA who used her clinical skills to build an online business that gave her both freedom and income — and she shares the exact blueprint so you can do it too.

Trying to figure out which medical specialty is right for you? I wonder if you've ever truly considered Infectious Disease (ID). It's one of those specialties that I don't think most PAs and NPs really give much thought to, or often overlook.
Well, I recently interviewed Dustin Marley, PA-C, who has worked over 10 years in infectious disease, and he's truly given me a new perspective on this specialty. He offers invaluable firsthand insights on this intellectually stimulating and very important field.
In the video, we discuss:
- The diverse settings where PAs and NPs can work in infectious disease.
- The unique challenges of the specialty, including managing complex cases and the critical battle against antibiotic resistance.
- Dustin's thoughts on the safety aspects of working in ID, including his experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Common schedules, typical patient loads, and salary expectations within the field.
This discussion provides crucial insights for practicing PAs and NPs, as well as students considering their future paths. Discover why ID is a rapidly growing area with significant impact and potential.
Watch the full interview to gain a comprehensive understanding of what a career in Infectious Disease truly entails. 👇
