Pediatric Physician Assistant Jobs in Wisconsin: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a pediatric physician assistant in Wisconsin?
To become a pediatric physician assistant in Wisconsin, you must graduate from an accredited master's-level PA program, pass the PANCE administered by the NCCPA, and obtain a Physician Assistant license through the Wisconsin Medical Examining Board. Wisconsin does not require a separate pediatric endorsement, but employers hiring for pediatric roles expect documented pediatric clinical training, relevant rotations, and current BLS and PALS certification before you begin seeing patients independently.
How much do pediatric physician assistants make in Wisconsin?
Pediatric physician assistants in Wisconsin earn a median of about $133,950 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $102,420 for the lowest 10% to over $169,150 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire pediatric physician assistants in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin pediatric physician assistant roles are posted by UW Health, Sanford Health, and SSM Health and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Children's Wisconsin, UW Health, and Bellin Health are among the anchor systems with consistent pediatric PA openings across outpatient clinics, specialty programs, and hospital-based settings throughout the state.
Which Wisconsin cities have the most pediatric physician assistant jobs?
Madison, Marshfield, and Middleton lead Wisconsin in pediatric physician assistant openings. Milwaukee drives the largest share of postings as home to Children's Wisconsin and a dense network of pediatric specialty clinics, while Madison's concentration of UW Health facilities and academic medical programs sustains strong demand, and Green Bay's growing regional health systems anchor hiring in northeast Wisconsin.
Are there remote pediatric physician assistant jobs in Wisconsin?
Yes, but they're rare. Pediatric physician assistant work is hands-on by nature, requiring direct patient assessment, and the vast majority of Wisconsin roles are on-site in clinic or hospital settings. About 20% of pediatric physician assistant openings tied to Wisconsin are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions are most often in care coordination, telehealth triage, or utilization management rather than direct clinical practice.
How can I get hired as a pediatric physician assistant in Wisconsin with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate PA residency or fellowship programs run by larger Wisconsin health systems, particularly Children's Wisconsin in Milwaukee, which periodically offers structured pediatric PA transitions for recent graduates. Candidates without pediatric-specific experience can strengthen their position by completing pediatric elective rotations, obtaining PALS certification early, and targeting general pediatrics or urgent care roles rather than subspecialty positions, then building toward specialty work after gaining hands-on patient volume in a clinic or ambulatory setting.
Where can I find and apply to pediatric physician assistant jobs in Wisconsin?
