Physician Assistants practice medicine independently, or under the supervision of a Physician, in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals, physician's offices, clinics, and other healthcare settings. The Physician Assistant job market is strong and is continuing to heat up, with much faster than average job growth (31%) projected for PAs from 2018 to 2028. As the demand for healthcare services grows, particularly in rural and other underserved areas of the country due in part to the primary care physician shortage, and more laws are passed that grant Physician Assistants full practice authority, more PAs will be needed throughout the country.
