How Much Do OB/GYN PAs Make?
The average annual PA salary is $126,010 per year in the U.S., according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, PAs make a total of $134,000 per year, according to Medscape’s 2023 physician assistant compensation report.

How Much Do Locum Tenens OB/GYN PAs Make?
Locum tenens OB/GYN PAs can make upwards of $92 per hour on average, however, there are many factors that impact rates including location, years of experience, and the level of demand.
If you were to extrapolate that rate over a year (at 40 hours per week), the average locum salary comes out to around $191,360.
That means locum tenens OB/GYN PAs can make up to 51% more than the average provider. However, making direct salary comparisons can be complicated. While perm OB/GYN PAs are more likely to be salaried, locum tenens OB/GYN PAs are independent contractors earning an hourly rate, which can vary based on which assignments they take in a year.
Furthermore, because locum tenens OB/GYN PAs are paid by the hour, the hours they work are directly reflected in their pay, while a salaried OB/GYN PAs additional hours may not be reflected in their salary.
Finally, paid time off and insurance may be reflected in the perm OB/GYN PAs salary structure, but locum tenens providers do have options when it comes to health insurance.
