In Missouri, the average PA salary is $128,280 a year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
PAs can perform duties delegated by their collaborating physician. This physician must be immediately available for consultation, except in emergency situations. In general, PAs in Missouri have moderate practice authority. Moderate authority refers to the fact that state law requires additional administrative burdens. This impacts the practice environment and limits the PA.
Physician assistants (PAs) in Missouri must complete 50 hours of continuing education (CE) every two years to renew their license. This requirement ensures PAs stay up-to-date on medical knowledge and best practices. PAs can earn CE hours through conferences, workshops, online courses, and self-study activities. The CE requirement is crucial in ensuring PAs provide high-quality patient care and improve patient outcomes.
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.
