Physician Assistant Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a physician assistant in Minnesota?

To work as a physician assistant in Minnesota, you must hold a license issued by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice. Licensure requires graduation from an ARC-PA accredited master's-level program and a passing score on the NCCPA certifying exam (PANCE). After submitting your application, verified transcripts, and exam results to the Board, you receive your license before seeing patients independently.

How much do physician assistants make in Minnesota?

Physician assistants in Minnesota earn a median of about $141,190 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $112,390 for the lowest 10% to over $183,320 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire physician assistants in Minnesota?

Employers hiring physician assistants in Minnesota right now include Medcor, Fairview Health Services, and University of Minnesota Physicians, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Minnesota's dominant integrated health systems, anchored by Mayo Clinic and M Health Fairview, account for a large share of total openings across inpatient, outpatient, and specialty settings.

Which Minnesota cities have the most physician assistant jobs?

The cities with the most physician assistant openings in Minnesota are Minneapolis, Rochester, and Saint Paul. The Twin Cities metro drives the bulk of demand through its dense concentration of hospital systems, multispecialty clinics, and large health networks, while Rochester's market is shaped by the global draw and scale of Mayo Clinic's integrated campuses and research facilities.

Are there remote physician assistant jobs in Minnesota?

Yes, but they're rare. Physician assistant work is fundamentally hands-on and requires direct patient contact, so fully remote positions are uncommon. About 18% of physician assistant openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to cover telehealth consultation roles or care coordination functions that don't require an exam room.

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

The most realistic entry path is a postgraduate PA residency or fellowship, and Minnesota has strong options: Mayo Clinic runs competitive PA residency programs in hospital medicine and surgery, while M Health Fairview and Allina Health periodically post new-graduate positions in primary care and urgent care that specify zero to one year of experience. Coming in from a related clinical role such as emergency medical technician, medical assistant, or registered nurse also opens doors, and holding an active Minnesota PA license before you apply puts your application ahead of out-of-state candidates still waiting on reciprocity.

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

You can find and apply to physician assistant jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the state. Search the roles that match your specialty and experience level, then apply directly to whichever ones fit your background.
