Physician Assistant Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physician assistant in Arizona?
You become a physician assistant in Arizona by completing an accredited master's-level PA program and then applying for licensure through the Arizona Medical Board, which oversees PA licensing in the state. Applicants must hold a current Physician Assistant-Certified credential from the NCCPA and submit verification of their supervised clinical training. Once licensed, PAs in Arizona may prescribe medications, including controlled substances, after registering with the DEA and meeting the board's supervising physician requirements.
How much do physician assistants make in Arizona?
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 physician assistants in Arizona?
Employers hiring physician assistants in Arizona right now include Optum, Naphcare, and Privia Medical, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Arizona's large integrated health systems and multispecialty groups tend to post the most consistent volume, particularly across the greater Phoenix and Tucson corridors.
Which Arizona cities have the most physician assistant jobs?
The cities with the most physician assistant openings in Arizona are Phoenix, Tucson, and Scottsdale. Phoenix drives the largest share of listings given the concentration of Banner Health, Dignity Health, and Valleywise Health campuses there, while Tucson's volume is shaped by Banner University Medical Center and the University of Arizona Health Sciences, and Scottsdale reflects strong demand from private specialty practices and urgent care groups serving the East Valley.
Are there remote physician assistant jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're rare. Physician assistant work is predominantly hands-on and clinic- or hospital-based, which limits remote opportunities significantly. About 0% of physician assistant openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions are most likely to involve telehealth consultation, chronic disease management follow-up, or utilization review rather than primary patient care.
How can I get hired as a physician assistant in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to formal new-graduate or postgraduate PA residency programs, several of which are offered by Arizona institutions including Banner Health and Valleywise Health across specialties like emergency medicine and primary care. New graduates can also pursue roles as surgical first-assist PAs or urgent care PAs, positions that many Arizona groups fill with new grads under close supervision. Holding an active Arizona Medical Board license and a clean NCCPA certification before applying puts candidates ahead of those still awaiting credentials.
Where can I find and apply to physician assistant jobs in Arizona?
