PA FACTS
How Are PAs Educated?All PAs attend an accredited PA program, which includes class/lab instruction and clinical rotations. The typical entering student has a bachelor’s degree and approximately four years of healthcare experience. The average program takes 26 months to complete; nearly all award master’s degrees.
PA students take more than 400 hours in basic sciences (with more than 75 hours in pharmacology) plus approximately 175 hours in behavioral sciences and nearly 580 hours of clinical medicine. Subjects include:
• Anatomy
• Pathology
• Pharmacology
• Biochemistry
• Clinical laboratory sciences
• Microbiology
• Physical diagnosis
• Differential diagnosis
• Pathophysiology
• Medical ethics
• Behavioral sciences
• Physiology
PAs are nationally certified and state licensed to practice medicine. For nearly 50 years, PAs have been part of the healthcare team. PAs are educated at the graduate level and practice in every medical and surgical specialty and setting. With a strong foundation in general medicine, PAs are able to adapt to changing healthcare needs. Because of this flexibility, PAs usually change specialties two to three times during their careers.
PAs obtain medical histories, perform physical examinations, diagnose and treat illnesses, order and interpret lab tests, assist in surgery, prescribe medications, provide patient education and counseling, and make rounds in nursing homes and hospitals.
America Needs PAs
Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about PAs.
52013 AAPA Salary Report©2014 American Academy of Physician Assistants. All rights reserved. Not for distribution or reproduction.
• Individuals must pass a national PA certification exam (administered by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants) and obtain a state license.
• All PAs must complete 100 hours of continuing medical education over a two-year cycle.
• To maintain national certification, PAs must pass a recertification exam every 10 years.
How Are PAs certified
PA students participate in more than 2,000 hours of clinical rotations, with an emphasis on primary care in ambulatory clinics, physicians’ offices and acute/long-term care facilities. Rotations include:
• Family medicine
• General surgery
• Pediatrics
• Psychiatry
• Emergency medicine
• Obstetrics/gynecology
• Internal medicine

Where Do PAs Practice?More than 95,000 certified PAs work in every medical and surgical setting across the country. More than one-third (37.5%) practice in hospital settings and more than one-third (38.1%) work in a group practice or solo physician office. The remaining PAs work in a variety of settings, including community health centers, freestanding surgical facilities, nursing homes, school- or college-based facilities, industrial settings and correctional institutions. PAs practice in all states, the District of Columbia, and all U.S. territories except Puerto Rico.

PA FACTS CONTINUED
Facts and Figures: New Data from the 2013 AAPA Annual SurveyAs the healthcare paradigm shifts, PAs are positioned at the forefront. Results from the 2013 AAPA Annual Survey indicate that the expanding PA role reflects evolving demands on the healthcare system brought about by new legislation and the ever-changing marketplace. Since 2006, the PA profession has grown 34 percent, and is expected to continue this upward trajectory with more than 7,000 PAs entering the profession annually. This complements the growing need for providers. New models of care, such as accountable care organizations and patient-centered medical homes, are ideally suited for PAs, who have a generalist education, team-based practice, and strong focus on wellness and prevention.
PAs Are Skilled Healthcare Providers Every year, a typical PA treats 3,500 patients:
• 80 percent provide acute care management.
• 64 percent provide chronic disease management.
• 52 percent perform minor surgical procedures.
The typical PA writes 2,600 to 5,200 prescriptions each year.
Most PAs see patients with multiple chronic diseases.
Does Insurance Reimburse for Services Provided by PAs?PAs offer great value to their employers by providing high-quality medical and surgical care, for which most public and private third-party payers reimburse. Services provided by a PA are billed with the PA’s name or under the name of the supervising physician, depending on the policies of the third-party payer. Nearly all federal and state healthcare reform initiatives recognize and include PAs as vital members of the healthcare team and make PA services eligible for reimbursement.

PA FACTS CONTINUED
PAs Deliver Patient-Centered Care in a Team EnvironmentPAs deliver the full scope of patient care across all medical and surgical specialties.
For example, every week, the typical PA:
• Treats 16 patients with coronary artery disease,10 patients with COPD and 15 patients for pain management.
• Manages patient care coordination and provides clinical preventive services.
As a member of a healthcare team, PAs work with an average of four physicians, three other PAs and one NP.
PAs Increase America’s Access to HealthcareThirty-seven percent of PAs work in medically underserved counties in the U.S.* PAs report that, on average, 23 percent of their patients are on Medicaid and 14 percent are dual eligible. Additionally, 16 percent of their patients are uninsured, compared with only 8 percent of patients seen by physicians.**
Nearly one-third of PAs practice in primary care, the largest segment of which is family medicine.
Reflecting changes in the healthcare marketplace, a growing number of PAs are practicing in newer models of care such as patient-centered medical homes and freestanding urgent care facilities.

METHODOLOGY
Information in this salary report was collected as part of the 2013 AAPA Annual Survey. This voluntary survey was administered online to AAPA members and nonmembers between March and July 2013. More than 18,000 PAs responded to the survey. Unless otherwise specified, the tables in this report include information about PAs who work at least 32 hours per week for their primary clinical employer and are not self-employed.
The national-level tables in this report provide compensation information about two groups of PAs: those who are paid a base salary only and those who receive a base salary plus a bonus. Pay amounts, and the number of respondents, are reported separately for these two groups in the national tables. The sample sizes in most states were not large enough to report PA compensation for each of the two groups separately. State-level tables report total earnings as a combination of base salary and bonus.
In the tables that follow:
“Base salary” refers to fixed annual income for PAs from their primary clinical employer, and was measured with the survey question, “In calendar year 2012, what was your base salary from your primary clinical employer?”
“Bonus” refers to variable annual income based on production incentives, milestone achievement or other performance-based criteria, and was measured with the question, “How much did you receive in bonus or incentive pay in 2012?”
“Median” earnings are those at the 50th percentile.
“Years of experience” refers to total years of experience as a PA.
Only data based on 10 or more respondents are included in this report. No data are imputed in this report.
Unless otherwise specified, all tables in this salary report are the property of AAPA. The use of this report and its content outside of its intended purpose is strictly prohibited. You must obtain permission from AAPA before sharing or distributing this report or any portion of it.

SUMMARY OF NATIONAL FINDINGS
Nationally, PA base pay is predominantly salary (75 percent). A much smaller percentage of PAs receive hourly pay (22 percent) or pay based on productivity (3 percent) for their base pay (see Figure 1).
However, overall compensation for PAs is evolving into a complex blend of pay sources, some fixed and some based on care-related metrics. This approach is consistent with changes in other healthcare provider compensation packages and is partly a result of pay-for-performance initiatives designed to improve the quality of healthcare.
A 2013 report on physician compensation from Physicians Practice indicates that two-thirds of physicians have some compensation tied to productivity or other performance measures, and 28 percent of the physicians report that their entire compensation package is based on productivity.
As in other health professions, a PA’s compensation can vary based on a number of factors. The following analyses take a closer look at some of those factors and the differences in PA salaries nationwide, presenting PA compensation data across specialty area and practice setting. These analyses highlight the variety of compensation packages currently being offered to PAs, as well as the compensation variations by specialty and setting.
Data in this report reflect a point in time. AAPA will continue to collect data and monitor changes in PA compensation to assess trends.

SUMMARY OF NATIONAL FINDINGS CONTINUED
AAPA data on PA compensation demonstrate similar patterns. New findings show a nearly 50-50 split between PAs who receive a bonus in addition to salary and those who do not (see Figure 2).
Among PAs who report receiving bonuses, 78 percent report their bonuses are based on productivity and other incentives, with 12 percent identifying quality improvement metrics as the driver of the bonus. The data indicate that, in terms of total compensation, PAs who do not have the opportunity to receive a bonus are making $5,000 to $13,000 less than PAs who do receive a bonus.
Additionally, PAs in surgery and other specialty areas are earning substantially more per year than their counterparts in primary care. This finding is consistent with compensation differences for physicians in the same specialty areas (see Medscape’s Physician Compensation Report 2013).

Within the most popular specialty areas for PAs there are clear differences in the most common compensation packages. Figure 5 presents the percentages of PAs by specialty and subspecialty who receive base salary only, salary plus bonus, and hourly wage.
SUMMARY OF NATIONAL FINDINGS CONTINUED
Figure 5. Type of Compensation by Common Specialty and Subspecialty Area
PAs in emergency medicine are far more likely to report being paid mainly by hourly wage compared with PAs in other specialty areas. PAs in dermatology are the most likely to report receiving a bonus in addition to their main salary compared to other PAs, while PAs in emergency medicine are the least likely to report receiving a bonus.

SUMMARY OF NATIONAL FINDINGS CONTINUED
Figure 6, organized by practice setting, presents the percentages of PAs paid by base salary only, salary plus bonus, and hourly wage.
Emergency departments and freestanding urgent care facilities are more likely to pay PAs based on hourly wages. A slightly higher
proportion of PAs working in physician practice groups receive a salary plus bonus compared with other practice settings. Hospital units generally have the highest proportion of PAs receiving only salary, instead of salary plus bonus.
