Pediatric Physician Assistant Jobs in North Carolina: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a pediatric physician assistant in North Carolina?
You become a pediatric physician assistant in North Carolina by completing a master's degree from an ARC-PA accredited program, passing the PANCE exam administered by the NCCPA, and obtaining licensure through the North Carolina Medical Board. The NC Medical Board issues PA licenses and requires ongoing continuing medical education for renewal. Once licensed, new graduates typically pursue pediatric-focused roles at children's hospitals or large health systems in the state, where postgraduate residency programs for PAs in pediatrics are increasingly available.
How much do pediatric physician assistants make in North Carolina?
Pediatric physician assistants in North Carolina earn a median of about $129,360 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $101,100 for the lowest 10% to over $164,770 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire pediatric physician assistants in North Carolina?
Employers hiring pediatric physician assistants in North Carolina right now include WakeMed Health & Hospitals, UNC Health, and Duke Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. North Carolina's large academic health systems and regional children's hospital programs generate particularly consistent openings for pediatric PAs across both inpatient and outpatient settings.
Which North Carolina cities have the most pediatric physician assistant jobs?
Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill lead North Carolina for pediatric physician assistant openings. Raleigh and Durham benefit from the Research Triangle's concentration of academic medical centers and children's programs tied to Duke Health and UNC Health, while Charlotte's growth as a major metro has expanded Novant Health and Atrium Health's pediatric footprints significantly, making it a strong market for PAs at every career stage.
Are there remote pediatric physician assistant jobs in North Carolina?
Yes, but they're rare. Pediatric physician assistant work is fundamentally hands-on, requiring direct patient examination, so fully remote positions make up a small share of overall openings. About 0% of pediatric physician assistant openings tied to North Carolina are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles tend to be limited to pediatric telehealth triage or care coordination functions rather than traditional clinical practice.
How can I get hired as a pediatric physician assistant in North Carolina with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to postgraduate PA residency programs in pediatrics, several of which are offered by North Carolina health systems including those affiliated with Duke Health and UNC Health. New graduates without pediatric experience often enter through pediatric primary care or general pediatrics outpatient roles, which are less competitive than subspecialty positions. Obtaining NCCPA certification promptly after graduation, completing pediatric rotations during training, and applying to new-grad openings at large multi-site systems in the state significantly improves early placement prospects.
Where can I find and apply to pediatric physician assistant jobs in North Carolina?
You can find and apply to pediatric physician assistant jobs in North Carolina on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the state. Find roles that match your experience and specialty focus, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
