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.

In Maryland, the average PA salary is $117,280 a year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
PAs must practice under the supervision of a licensed physician. In general, PAs in Maryland have reduced practice authority. Reduced means that state law restricts the PA’s ability to practice in at least one element.
In Maryland, physician assistants (PAs) must complete 50 continuing education (CE) hours within a two-year licensing cycle to maintain their license. PAs have flexibility in choosing CE activities, such as attending conferences, taking online courses, or engaging in self-directed learning. Completing CE hours reflects a PA’s commitment to lifelong learning and contributes to providing high-quality patient care and the healthcare system’s effectiveness.
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.
