Pediatric Physician Assistant Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a pediatric physician assistant in Arizona?
You must complete a master's-level physician assistant program accredited by ARC-PA, then pass the PANCE national certifying exam to earn PA-C credentials. Arizona licenses physician assistants through the Arizona Medical Board, which requires a completed application, verification of education and exam results, and a background check. Applicants with licensure in another state may qualify for endorsement. Many Arizona employers in pediatric settings also expect BLS and PALS certification before the first day of clinical work.
How much do pediatric physician assistants make in Arizona?
Pediatric physician assistants in Arizona earn a median of about $134,650 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $106,030 for the lowest 10% to over $174,420 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire pediatric physician assistants in Arizona?
Employers hiring pediatric physician assistants in Arizona right now include Phoenix Children's and El Rio Community Health Center, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Arizona's pediatric hiring market is anchored by large children's and multispecialty systems in the Phoenix metro, with additional demand from independent pediatric practices and urgent care groups in Tucson and the East Valley.
Which Arizona cities have the most pediatric physician assistant jobs?
The cities with the most pediatric physician assistant openings in Arizona are Phoenix, Tucson, and Glendale. Phoenix dominates the distribution because it is home to major pediatric systems like Phoenix Children's Hospital and large multispecialty networks, while Tucson's University of Arizona Health Network and Scottsdale's concentration of private specialty practices account for a steady share of postings outside the core metro.
Are there remote pediatric physician assistant jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're rare. Pediatric physician assistant work is inherently hands-on, requiring physical examination and direct patient contact, which limits fully remote opportunities to a narrow range of roles such as pediatric telehealth consults or care coordination. About 0% of pediatric physician assistant openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of August 2026. The portions of the role most likely to be conducted remotely are follow-up telehealth visits and administrative or prior-authorization work.
How can I get hired as a pediatric physician assistant in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a new-graduate or post-graduate residency program, and Phoenix Children's Hospital runs one of the more established pediatric PA residency tracks in the state. Banner Health and Dignity Health also periodically post new-graduate PA openings across their Arizona pediatric and family medicine sites. Candidates coming from adjacent roles such as pediatric medical assistant, pediatric RN, or child life specialist find those backgrounds translate well in interviews. Completing your Arizona Medical Board license promptly, earning PALS certification, and documenting pediatric clinical rotation hours in your application gives new graduates a measurable edge over candidates who delay those steps.
Where can I find and apply to pediatric physician assistant jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to pediatric physician assistant jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings across hospital systems, specialty practices, and urgent care groups.
