Physician Assistant Jobs in Connecticut: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physician assistant in Connecticut?
You must hold an active license from the Connecticut Medical Examining Board, which requires graduating from an ARC-PA accredited master's program and passing the PANCE certification exam through NCCPA. Connecticut also requires a supervising physician agreement on file with the board. After licensure, you apply for a Connecticut controlled substance registration if your practice involves prescribing. Most Connecticut employers post new-graduate positions alongside experienced roles.
How much do physician assistants make in Connecticut?
Physician assistants in Connecticut earn a median of about $139,860 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $106,380 for the lowest 10% to over $180,900 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire physician assistants in Connecticut?
Companies currently hiring physician assistants in Connecticut include Hartford HealthCare, Yale New Haven Health, and Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Yale New Haven Health, Hartford HealthCare, and Trinity Health Of New England are among the largest and most consistent Connecticut employers of physician assistants across specialties.
Which Connecticut cities have the most physician assistant jobs?
Hartford, Waterbury, and New Haven have the most physician assistant openings in Connecticut. Hartford and New Haven drive the largest share of postings because of their major academic medical centers and large regional health systems, while Bridgeport and Stamford add volume through their dense outpatient and specialty clinic networks serving Fairfield County.
Are there remote physician assistant jobs in Connecticut?
Yes, but they are rare. Physician assistant work is almost entirely hands-on and requires direct patient contact, so fully remote positions make up a small fraction of the market. About 20% of physician assistant openings tied to Connecticut are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles tend to be limited to telehealth triage or care coordination functions.
How can I get hired as a physician assistant in Connecticut with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a postgraduate PA residency or fellowship program. Hartford HealthCare and Yale New Haven Health both offer structured postgraduate programs in areas such as emergency medicine, surgery, and hospital medicine that welcome new graduates. Candidates who have worked as paramedics, surgical technologists, or medical assistants in Connecticut settings often transition into PA roles with credible clinical backgrounds. Holding an active Connecticut PA license and a clean NCCPA certification before applying removes the most common employer hesitations.
Where can I find and apply to physician assistant jobs in Connecticut?
You can find and apply to physician assistant jobs in Connecticut on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Find roles that match your specialty and experience level, then apply directly to the employer through each listing.
