Physician Assistant Jobs in Kansas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physician assistant in Kansas?
To practice as a physician assistant in Kansas, you must hold an active license from the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts, which requires graduating from an ARC-PA accredited master's-level program and passing the PANCE through the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants. Kansas also requires a written practice agreement with a supervising physician. Maintaining licensure means completing continuing medical education credits each renewal cycle.
How much do physician assistants make in Kansas?
Physician assistants in Kansas earn a median of about $125,640 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $98,280 for the lowest 10% to over $168,480 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire physician assistants in Kansas?
Kansas physician assistant roles are posted by Optum, Ascension, and VitalCore Health Strategies and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Large integrated health systems and multi-site clinic groups account for most of the volume, particularly in Wichita and the Kansas City metro.
Which Kansas cities have the most physician assistant jobs?
Wichita, Topeka, and Manhattan lead Kansas for physician assistant openings. Wichita anchors the market as home to the state's largest hospital systems and a growing network of specialty and urgent care clinics, while Kansas City's sprawling metro draws volume from both sides of the state line, and Topeka adds steady demand through state government health programs and regional medical centers.
Are there remote physician assistant jobs in Kansas?
Yes, but they're rare. Physician assistant work is inherently hands-on, so most roles require in-person patient care. About 50% of physician assistant openings tied to Kansas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions are almost entirely in telehealth triage, utilization review, or insurance case management rather than direct clinical practice.
How can I get hired as a physician assistant in Kansas with little or no experience?
New graduates should target postgraduate residency and fellowship programs, with The University of Kansas Health System offering structured PA residencies in primary care and hospital medicine that provide supervised clinical hours and a clear path to full-time employment. Ascension Via Christi and Wesley Medical Center also bring on new graduates in urgent care and family medicine rotations. Candidates transitioning from medical assistant, paramedic, or registered nurse roles have a strong foundation employers recognize, and completing Kansas licensure before job searching puts you ahead of other new applicants.
Where can I find and apply to physician assistant jobs in Kansas?
You can find and apply to physician assistant jobs in Kansas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state right now. Search the listings to find roles that match your specialty and experience level, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
