Entry Level Primary Care Physician Assistant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level primary care physician assistant job?
Start by highlighting your clinical rotations, supervised patient hours, and any primary care placements during your PA program. Employers hiring at the entry level look for NCCPA certification or eligibility, strong interpersonal skills for patient-facing work, and familiarity with electronic health records. A letter of recommendation from a supervising physician or preceptor can give new grad applicants a meaningful edge over other candidates.
Which companies hire entry level primary care physician assistants?
Companies hiring entry level primary care physician assistants right now include Optum, Carbon Health, and CommonSpirit Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring is spread across independent primary care practices, federally qualified health centers, hospital-affiliated outpatient clinics, and large regional health systems that run structured new grad onboarding programs.
Are there remote entry level primary care physician assistant jobs?
Yes, though most primary care PA work is on-site given hands-on patient care requirements. About 4% of entry level primary care physician assistant openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to be roles in telehealth, care coordination, or patient triage that do not require in-person clinical procedures.
Are these new grad primary care physician assistant jobs?
Yes, the listings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior primary care physician assistant roles. A posting is typically new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts clinical rotations or supervised internships toward the experience requirement, or explicitly states that candidates with a strong PA program background are encouraged to apply.
Which industries hire the most entry level primary care physician assistants?
Entry Level primary care physician assistant roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Consulting & Professional Services, and Insurance, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive the most entry level hiring because they face ongoing patient volume growth and actively recruit new graduates to fill gaps in preventive care and chronic disease management.
