So, you’re interested in being a Physician Associate, but don’t know what specialty to pursue or maybe you’re about to graduate and want to optimize your earning potential? Maybe you're in one of the lower paying specialities and want to make a change? Well, you’ve come to the right place!
We are taking a look at the multitude of specialties you can choose from as a PA. Most other advanced practice professionals cannot move from one specialty to another, but PA’s are able to zig/zag to suit their fancy and their paycheck.
Anesthesia
Cardiology
Dermatology
Emergency medicine
ENT/Otolaryngology
Family medicine
General practice
Internal medicine
Neurology
Obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN)
Radiology
Pediatrics
Surgery
There is a laundry list of potential specialties AND subspecialties (see above), but some are paid better than others, and may also bring better work/life balance. We aren’t advocating to ditch your interests over pursuit of coin, but rather trying to educate you on where you will see the most career growth over the next ten years. So, let’s dive in!
Physician Assistant: Cardiovascular/Cardiothoracic Surgery
Side note: I've heard that this is also one of the most demanding in terms of work/life balance!
Physician Assistant: Dermatology
Side Note: I've heard that this is one of the most challenging to break into
Physician Assistant: Emergency Medicine
Physician Assistant: Surgical Subspecialties (ex. Orthopedics)
Side note: I've heard that Orthopedics/Sports Med is one of the BEST specialties when it comes to both pay and work/life balance.
Physician Assistant: Occupational Medicine
Physician Assistant: Critical Care
Physician Assistant: Neurosurgery
Physician Assistant: Urgent Care
If you’re passionate about one of those specialties, you’re in luck! If not, don’t fret. There is still an average of a 28% growth rate between all specialties for PAs over the next ten years! Supply and demand.
At Advanced Scope, we work with a variety of specialties but our own niche is in working with small to medium sized Orthopedic/Sports Med private practices. We have a team of both recruiters and medical advisors, who know the role in and out to provide you with a seamless interview process geared towards finding you the perfect fit for long-term success!
