Locum tenens PA jobs are contract roles designed to fill gaps in care at healthcare facilities over a specific timeframe. These assignments can range from a week to well over a year. Locum and travel physician assistants hold all the same qualifications as a permanent physician assistant, and often choose locum work for higher pay and increased flexibility. Explore our locum tenens guide to learn more.
In Georgia, the average PA salary is $115,650 a year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
PAs must practice under the supervision of a licensed physician. In general, PAs in Georgia have reduced practice authority. Reduced means that state law restricts the PA’s ability to practice in at least one element.
In Georgia, physician assistants (PAs) must complete 40 hours of continuing education (CE) every two years to maintain their professional license. This requirement ensures PAs stay up-to-date with medical advancements and best practices, leading to high-quality patient care. PAs have flexibility in choosing CE activities, such as conferences, workshops, and online courses. Fulfilling the CE requirement promotes lifelong learning, evidence-based care, and overall healthcare quality improvement in the state.
The highest paid PA specialty is cardiovascular surgery at $152,500 annually, according to the American Academy of Physician Associates.
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.
