In Oregon, the average PA salary is $141,810 a year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
PAs in Oregon must have a collaboration agreement with a licensed physician. In general, PAs in Oregon 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 Oregon, physician assistants must complete 60 Continuing Education (CE) hours every two years to renew their licenses.
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.
The highest paid PA specialty is cardiovascular surgery at $152,500 annually, according to the American Academy of Physician Associates.
