Physician Assistant Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a physician assistant in Florida?

You become a physician assistant in Florida by completing an accredited master's-level PA program, passing the PANCE examination, and applying for licensure through the Florida Board of Medicine, which oversees PA licensing in the state. Florida also requires a supervising physician agreement on file and, for prescribing controlled substances, a separate Florida controlled substance prescribing certificate. Most Florida employers verify both your NCCPA certification and your Florida PA license before extending an offer.

How much do physician assistants make in Florida?

Physician assistants in Florida earn a median of about $129,620 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $98,530 for the lowest 10% to over $181,610 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire physician assistants in Florida?

Employers hiring physician assistants in Florida right now include 77 Consultants, Woundtech, and Orlando Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's large integrated health systems and multi-specialty physician groups tend to post consistently year-round, making them reliable targets for ongoing applications.

Which Florida cities have the most physician assistant jobs?

The cities with the most physician assistant openings in Florida are Jacksonville, Miami, and Tampa. Miami's concentration of academic medical centers and specialty practices, Tampa's fast-growing hospital corridor, and Orlando's expanding outpatient and urgent care networks all drive sustained demand, while suburban markets around Jacksonville and Fort Lauderdale add meaningful volume tied to regional health system campuses.

Are there remote physician assistant jobs in Florida?

Yes, but they're rare. About 5% of physician assistant openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the hands-on, clinical nature of most PA roles. The positions most likely to offer any remote component are those with a significant telemedicine, utilization review, or chronic disease management focus.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate PA residency or fellowship programs, several of which are run by Florida health systems including HCA Florida Healthcare and AdventHealth across their network facilities. Candidates without PA experience who have worked as medical assistants, EMTs, or surgical technicians in Florida are consistently competitive for entry-level PA openings. Holding an active Florida PA license and a current NCCPA certification before applying removes the most common early-screening barriers.

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