Physician assistant certification (PA-C)
Two to three years of graduate study for pay that sits in the top tenth of US occupations — and one of the highest shares of credential holders actually employed in the work anywhere on this site.

为什么这里没有成本数字
No cost figure appears here, and the reason is the same one that blocks the radiography page. Federal programme data is published at four-digit granularity, and physician assistant studies sits inside CIP 51.09 alongside athletic training, anaesthesiologist assistant programmes and several other master's level allied-health courses. The blended figure runs to roughly $109,000 in federal loans at the median, and it is a figure about a group of programmes rather than about this one, so we do not present it as the price of becoming a PA. The outcome data below comes from that same shared code and is labelled accordingly.
Two to three years of full-time graduate study after a bachelor's degree and, at most programmes, a substantial number of documented patient-care hours before admission. The PANCE examination follows.
Certification runs ten years, with 100 hours of continuing medical education every two years and a recertification examination.
有多少人持有这个,有多少人在实地工作
工资数字
的 201,038 board-certified physician assistants 计算在 2025, 联邦就业记录账户 162,150 从事本行业的工作, 80.7%. 剩下的叶子 38,888 中不包含此选项的控件。
这一差距是上限,而不是失业率。 持有证书与寻找工作不同。 差距包括:每一个进入管理、教学、销售、检查或联邦数据档案中不同职业下的相关工作的人;所有退休或离开而没有交出证书的人;每个以就业调查无法捕捉的方式从事非全时工作、代理或自营职业的人;以及所有以兼职、代理或自营职业者作为第二线持有另一份工作的人。因此差距在于CEIL关于有多少受过培训的人没有从事这一领域工作——实际数字较低,而不是失业人数的计算。 夫妇们确定的是公布的工资数字没有说明你所看到的薪酬站点。
双方都是常备计数。 持股人在某一时期的雇用日期,即同一数量,这是两个日期可以分开的唯一原因。
包括: People holding current NCCPA board certification on that date, whether or not they are practising. 731 of them have addresses outside the United States or at military installations. It is not the cumulative figure NCCPA also publishes — more than 231,000 people have been certified since 1975 — because most of the difference is retirement and lapse, and using it would overstate the pool. Certification is not the same as a state licence, but every state requires it or accepts it as the basis for one.

One of the tightest pairings on the site. The remainder is mostly PAs working in roles federal data files under other occupations — administration, education, industry — plus people holding certification while not practising.
训练结束的人 发生了什么事
完成四年后——方案代码的数字,而不只是这项工作
约 13,462 完成学业的人 Allied health diagnostic and treatment, master's degree 四年之后,他不再学习, 166 没有任何记录显示收入的 & mdash; 1.2%. 工作工人的中位数 $127,347, 中间半介于 $103,242 和 $152,756.
“没有记录收入”不是“失业”。 衡量标准是没有任何工资记录和全年任何积极的自营职业收入,没有人被问及他们是否想要工作,因此,计数员将那些选择离开劳动力队伍的人——抚养子女、照顾子女、旅行、靠别人的收入生活、移居国外——与所有想要工作而没有工作的所有人一起关押,没有人公布这种分配,我们不会猜测它。它确实确定有多少人完成了这种培训,而且没有从中挣到任何收入,或者四年内从其他任何收入中挣到任何收入,这正是上面的工资数字无法告诉你的。
这个数字不是这个工作的具体数字。 联邦政府公布4位数颗粒度和无细微值的方案成果,而这个证书方案则与其他人共享代码。 因此,图中描述了在这个级别上根据代码完成任何工作的每个人,而不仅仅是继续这项工作的人。
方案代码包括的内容: CIP 51.09 is the broadest code on this page and it is shared. Radiography, respiratory therapy, surgical technology, cardiovascular technology, sonography, perfusion, athletic training and physician assistant studies are all inside it, and the Department publishes no split. At associate level the code is dominated by imaging, respiratory and surgical technology; at master's level by physician assistant programmes, which is why the earnings jump. No figure here is specific to any one of those occupations and it must not be quoted as though it were.
The master's level of this programme code is dominated by physician assistant programmes, which is why the earnings figure is so much higher than the rest of the code. It is still not a PA-only figure and must not be quoted as one.
谁是组: 接受联邦学生援助的全科学生——大约一半的美国本科生,另一半则不在此计量。 继续深造的人没有列。 教育部压制那些人数太少、无法公布和增加统计噪音的机构,因此,这是足够大、足以举报的机构的总数: 161 恢复的 83.6% 将新闻部对这一方案的本国计算。 减少最小的报告方案 0.0 百分点。

它自己付钱吗?
以中位数支付 $135,880, 与就业加权中位数相比 $50,020 在所有职业中,我们出版的每一份职业—— $85,860 我们不能将这一结果变成一个偿还期,因为对于这笔费用没有可信的数字——一半的计算是真实的和公布的,另一半则我们没有。
读起来比作一个普通的工作 而不是你的工作 基准是什么 所遗漏的
假设你得到这份工作 网站的每个回报数字都以受雇于工作为条件。 以上持证人人数的计算是用来测试的假设,而其他每个薪酬网站的假设是默默地作出的假设。
启动前需要什么
- A bachelor's degree with science prerequisites
- Documented direct patient-care hours — programmes commonly ask for 1,000 or more
- A place on an ARC-PA accredited programme
- A pass in the PANCE
如果
- you have no patient-care hours yet — that requirement is the real barrier and it is usually a year or more of paid work before you can apply
- you are choosing it over medicine purely on length; the scope of practice is different, not smaller-but-otherwise-identical
