In New Mexico, the average PA salary is $133,140 a year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
PAs must practice under the supervision of a licensed physician. In general, PAs in New Mexico have advanced practice authority. Advanced authority means that PAs can practice to the full extent of their medical education, but they still must comply with administrative requirements.
In New Mexico, physician assistants (PAs) must complete 100 continuing education (CE) hours within a two-year licensing cycle to renew their license.
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.
