- Order and interpret diagnostic testing, including arterial and venous duplex studies, ankle-brachial indices, cross-sectional imaging, and relevant laboratory studies.

- Support prior authorization requests and appeals by providing complete clinical documentation for payer review.
- Coordinate care with referring providers, primary care providers, specialists, and support staff to ensure continuity across visits.

- Comfort with electronic health records and standard clinical documentation workflows.
Preferred Qualifications:
- 3 to 5 years of prior clinical experience in Vascular, Interventional Radiology, or Cardiology. Candidates with a background in these settings are strongly preferred, given the procedural comfort, patient acuity recognition, and vascular knowledge the role benefits from.

Physician Assistant Jobs in Michigan: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physician assistant in Michigan?
To practice as a physician assistant in Michigan, you must hold an active license issued by the Michigan Board of Medicine, which operates under the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. You first need to complete a master's-level program accredited by ARC-PA, then pass the PANCE administered by NCCPA. After passing, you apply for your Michigan PA license through the LARA online portal before you can begin practicing in the state.
How much do physician assistants make in Michigan?
Physician assistants in Michigan earn a median of about $131,510 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $104,000 for the lowest 10% to over $162,570 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire physician assistants in Michigan?
Employers hiring physician assistants in Michigan right now include Henry Ford Health, VitalCore Health Strategies, and Beacon Health System, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Michigan's large integrated health systems, regional hospital networks, and multispecialty group practices generate the most consistent volume of openings across the state.
Which Michigan cities have the most physician assistant jobs?
Detroit, Holland, and Ann Arbor consistently have the most physician assistant openings in Michigan. Detroit leads because of its concentration of major academic medical centers and specialty hospitals, while Grand Rapids reflects the rapid growth of Corewell Health and surrounding regional systems, and Ann Arbor draws heavily from Michigan Medicine and its affiliated outpatient network.
Are there remote physician assistant jobs in Michigan?
Yes, but they're rare. Physician assistant work is fundamentally hands-on and clinical, so fully remote positions make up a small share of all openings. About 7% of physician assistant openings tied to Michigan are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions tend to be in telehealth triage, utilization review, or chronic disease management rather than direct procedural or inpatient care.
How can I get hired as a physician assistant in Michigan with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to a postgraduate PA residency or fellowship program, and Michigan has several options through Henry Ford Health and Corewell Health that are specifically designed for new graduates entering primary care, emergency medicine, or surgery. Candidates who lack direct PA experience often transition successfully from roles as medical assistants, surgical technologists, or EMTs, and holding an active Michigan PA license with NCCPA certification in hand before applying gives you a concrete advantage over applicants still awaiting credentialing.
Where can I find and apply to physician assistant jobs in Michigan?
You can find and apply to physician assistant jobs in Michigan on Migrate Mate, which lists current Michigan openings from employers hiring now. Search the available roles, find one that fits your experience and specialty area, and apply directly through the listing.
