Physician Assistant Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a physician assistant in Colorado?

To become a physician assistant in Colorado, you must graduate from an ARC-PA accredited master's program, pass the PANCE exam administered by NCCPA, and apply for licensure through the Colorado Medical Board. Colorado requires an active state license before you can practice, and most employers verify licensure status directly with the board. New graduates should apply for licensure as soon as they have their PANCE results in hand.

How much do physician assistants make in Colorado?

Physician assistants in Colorado earn a median of about $134,540 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $104,590 for the lowest 10% to over $174,090 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire physician assistants in Colorado?

Companies currently hiring physician assistants in Colorado include UCHealth, 77 Consultants, and Concentra, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Colorado's large integrated health systems, including those tied to academic medical centers in the Denver metro, tend to post the most consistent volume of physician assistant openings across specialties.

Which Colorado cities have the most physician assistant jobs?

Denver, Colorado Springs, and Aurora have the most physician assistant openings in Colorado. Denver dominates because of its concentration of major hospital systems, academic medical centers, and specialty practices, while Colorado Springs and Aurora generate strong demand through their own large regional health networks and proximity to military medical facilities that employ civilian physician assistants.

Are there remote physician assistant jobs in Colorado?

Yes, but they're rare. Physician assistant work is almost entirely hands-on, requiring direct patient contact, so fully remote positions are uncommon in this field. About 13% of physician assistant openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles are most often found in telehealth triage, chronic disease management, or utilization review functions where clinical oversight can happen virtually.

How can I get hired as a physician assistant in Colorado with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is a physician assistant postgraduate residency or fellowship, and UCHealth and Children's Hospital Colorado both offer structured programs designed for new graduates in primary care and pediatric specialties. Candidates without clinical PA experience who hold active Colorado licensure and NCCPA certification should target urgent care and rural health clinic roles, which tend to provide mentorship and accept new grads more readily than competitive hospital specialties.

Where can I find and apply to physician assistant jobs in Colorado?

You can find and apply to physician assistant jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current Colorado openings across hospital systems, specialty practices, urgent care groups, and rural health settings. Find roles that fit your specialty and experience level and apply directly to the employer through each listing.
