Physician Assistant Jobs

PA Job Board Scope

Our physician assistant job board aggregates active openings from hospitals, multi-state health systems, academic medical centers, federally qualified health centers, large private practices, urgent care chains, surgical specialty groups, telehealth platforms, occupational medicine providers, and aesthetic and wellness practices across all 50 U.S. states. Every listing represents a real, currently open requisition with a known supervising physician model, a defined compensation range, and a recruiter who can answer detailed questions about the role.

The board is built for PA-Cs, not for SEO traffic. We deliberately do not republish stale listings, ghost jobs, or aggregated postings from third-party sites. If a job appears here, the employer is actively interviewing physician assistants and we have direct access to the hiring manager. That focus on real, fillable openings is the entire reason mid-career and passive PAs return to us when it is time to make their next move.

How to Apply

Applying to a physician assistant job through our network takes a few minutes. Submit interest through any specific listing or our general PA candidate form. A senior PA recruiter contacts you within one to two business days for a structured intake conversation covering your clinical background, NCCPA certification status, state licensure, specialty interests, geographic preferences, scheduling constraints, and compensation expectations. We use this conversation to map you against active openings and to flag adjacent opportunities you may not have considered.

Once you authorize a submission, we present your profile to the employer with full context — never a blind resume drop. We coordinate interview scheduling, prepare you with employer-specific background, debrief after every conversation, and represent your interests through offer negotiation. We push back on out-of-market salary, restrictive non-competes, missing tail coverage on locum assignments, and weak CME or PTO terms. Contract review is included at no cost.

After offer acceptance we walk you through credentialing, privileging, and start-date logistics, then stay engaged through the first ninety days of the role. If the position is not what was promised, we want to know early. Confidentiality is the default at every step — your current employer is never contacted without explicit written consent for the specific opportunity in question.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is it free for physician assistants to apply through your job board?

  Yes. There is never a fee for a PA-C to register, browse jobs, apply, or work with one of our recruiters. All placement fees are paid by the hiring employer on a contingency basis. PAs receive resume review, interview coaching, salary benchmarking, and contract negotiation support at no cost.

• Are physician assistant applications kept confidential?

  Yes. Your resume, current employer, and contact information are never shared with any organization without your explicit written consent for each specific opportunity. We never post your profile to a public database, never list you on a marketing site, and never reach out to your current employer or references until you authorize it. Confidentiality is the default for every PA we work with.

• How does the application and interview process work?

  Submit interest through any job listing or our general application form. A senior PA recruiter contacts you within one to two business days to discuss your background, specialty interests, geographic preferences, and compensation expectations. We then present matching opportunities, prep you for each employer interview, coordinate scheduling, debrief after every conversation, and walk you through any offers and contracts you receive. The full cycle from initial conversation to signed offer typically runs three to six weeks.

• Do you place new graduate physician assistants?

  Yes. We work with new grad PA-Cs every year, primarily in family practice, urgent care, hospital medicine, emergency medicine, and surgical first-assist roles where employers maintain structured onboarding or formal PA fellowship and residency programs. We coach new grads on resume framing, interview prep, salary expectations, and contract review at no cost, and we only present new grads to employers committed to supervised ramp-up time and meaningful procedural exposure.

• Do you offer locum tenens physician assistant assignments?

  Yes. Roughly a third of our placements are locum tenens or temp-to-perm coverage. Assignments range from two-week burst coverage through twelve-month interim engagements, primarily in emergency medicine, hospital medicine, surgical first assist, and rural primary care. We handle malpractice with tail coverage, license and DEA verification, hospital privileging paperwork, travel and lodging logistics, and weekly timesheet processing.
