In Illinois, PAs must practice in collaboration with a physician under a written collaborative agreement. In general, PAs in Illinois have advanced practice authority. Advanced authority means that PAs can practice to the full extent of their medical education, but they still must comply with administrative requirements.
In Illinois, physician assistants (PAs) must complete 50 hours of continuing education (CE) to renew their license every two years. The CE requirement is important for ensuring that PAs stay up-to-date on the latest medical knowledge and practices, which helps to improve patient care and the health of the community.
The highest paid PA specialty is cardiovascular surgery at $152,500 annually, according to the American Academy of Physician Associates.
The employment for PAs is expected to grow 27% between 2022 to 2032. This is much faster than other jobs. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that there are 12,200 openings for PAs every year, over the course of the decade.
