In Pennsylvania, the average PA salary is $119,760 a year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
PAs must practice under the supervision of a licensed physician. In general, PAs in Pennsylvania have reduced practice authority. Reduced means that state law restricts the PA’s ability to practice in at least one element.
In Pennsylvania, physician assistants must complete 100 hours of CE every two year licensing cycle.
The employment for PAs is expected to grow 27% between 2022 to 2032. This is much faster than other jobs. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that there are 12,200 openings for PAs every year, over the course of the decade.
The highest paid PA specialty is cardiovascular surgery at $152,500 annually, according to the American Academy of Physician Associates.
