 They make, on average, $116,000, a little bit more, $116,661, which is dope! What's up, you guys? It's Adana. Welcome back to my channel. If you haven't already done so, go ahead right now. Subscribe to my channel and follow me on Instagram and AdanaPA. So, yeah, you guys asked me about the specialties, right? I talk about how much lateral movement we have and how we can go from here to there, and that's what I really love about the profession, but you really don't know all of the different areas that you can go into. So, I found this website that had an article breaking down various different physician assistant specialties and their salaries associated with them. You can always go to NCCPA, which is the certification board for the PAs, and they will have their information, the same information as well, because that's where this article got that information from. The first one, I guess we can start from top to bottom, highest paying to least paying, right? So, the first one is pathology PAs. So, pathology meaning a corner, working in that sense, in that lab, figuring out pathology. Those PAs make, on average, $119,000 a year, and their starting salary or their midpoint is usually $110,000, which is really good. So, the next specialty that one can go into if you're trying to become a PA is dermatology. And so, dermatology PAs, you know, they're studying the skin. They make, on average, $118,000. So, this particular article says $118,145. That sounds really good, and if you're really into Derm, where you have a love for Derm, then that is the area for you. The next highest paying one is emergency medicine. They make, on average, $116,000, a little bit more, $116,661, which is dope. And obviously, depending on how you schedule yourself, you can moonlight at other emergency rooms and make more money if you're into that kind of thing. Right? Who's not into making more money, right? So, if you want to work harder, you can go ahead and do that. The next highest paying one is a critical care PA. So, critical care PAs are your PAs that work in the ICU, and they make about $114,000. That's kind of like your average salary a year. So, there are going to be people that make more than that, and there are going to be people that make a little bit less than that starting out. But on average, you're at $114,000. All of your surgical subspecialties like, you know, neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery, surgical oncology, that kind of stuff, that's your next subset of specialty. So, you can go into all of these various different areas, and they make, on average, $113,000 a year. You can also just be like a general surgery PA, and they make, on average, $106,000 a year. The other subspecialty that you can go into is like adolescent medicine. I really don't, like, I hadn't heard of that before, but they make, on average, $81,000. Gynecology makes $87,000. I mean, $87,000 sounds pretty darn good to me. I don't know. If I'm making that straight out of like college, and I'm getting to learn and like just bolster myself as a PA, I think I'd be fine with that. Pediatrics, they tend to make $88,000. The OBGYNPAs, which is the area that I want to go into, makes $89,942 a year, on average. Those are the ones with like the salaries, but there are so many other areas that you can go into. You can go into pulmonology. You can go into cardiology. You can go into palliative medicine. You can go into pain management. You can go into hospice. You can be a hospitalist PA. You can go into urology. Literally think of an area in medicine that you're interested in and then be like, hmm, I wonder if PAs can work there. And more than likely they can. And if they don't have a PA in that particular area yet, maybe you can be like the forerunner in that area and you can like go pave the way for other PAs. Hopefully this was helpful. Gave you not only some specialties that you can go into, but also the salaries of those various different specialties. You can make your choices based on that or just based on your love for the profession. You can always go to NCCPA's website and find out more information on the various different specialties that the PA profession offers and their salaries. I hope this was helpful.
