Physician Assistant Jobs in Maine: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physician assistant in Maine?
To become a physician assistant in Maine, you must graduate from an accredited physician assistant program, pass the PANCE exam administered by NCCPA, and apply for licensure through the Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine. Maine requires a collaborative practice agreement with a supervising physician before you can practice. Prescriptive authority, including controlled substances, requires a separate DEA registration and is governed by Maine state statute.
How much do physician assistants make in Maine?
Physician assistants in Maine earn a median of about $131,170 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $107,630 for the lowest 10% to over $169,250 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire physician assistants in Maine?
Employers hiring physician assistants in Maine right now include Signify Health, Lumaire, and MaineHealth, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Maine's hiring is driven heavily by integrated health systems and federally qualified health centers serving both urban and rural communities across the state.
Which Maine cities have the most physician assistant jobs?
Maine, Portland, and Bangor have the most physician assistant openings in Maine. Portland anchors the market as home to Maine Medical Center and a growing concentration of specialty and outpatient clinics, while Bangor and Augusta reflect the reach of Northern Light Health and MaineGeneral, which operate facilities and satellite practices well beyond their main campuses.
Are there remote physician assistant jobs in Maine?
Yes, but they're rare. Physician assistant work is inherently hands-on, requiring in-person patient care in nearly all settings. About 57% of physician assistant openings tied to Maine are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those postings are almost exclusively in telehealth triage, utilization review, or insurance-side clinical advisory roles rather than direct patient care.
How can I get hired as a physician assistant in Maine with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a new-graduate or postgraduate residency program, and Maine Medical Center in Portland runs one of the region's more established PA residency tracks in surgery and emergency medicine. Northern Light Health and MaineGeneral also hire new graduates into supervised primary care and hospitalist roles. Candidates with a strong clinical rotation history at Maine facilities, current NCCPA certification, and an active Maine license are competitive for these positions even without prior paid PA experience.
Where can I find and apply to physician assistant jobs in Maine?
