 so that is like amazing that is an amazing salary as a new graduate what's up you guys it's adana i am back with another video for you guys so a lot of you guys have been asking about this and so i said let me do a little bit of research because i want to know too so what is the median salary that a p8 makes like what's the average salary right and with the profession just on the rise it has only gotten better you guys forbes has this thing out um just talking about the salaries that the pa made i will leave that link um to the actual article in the description box below for you guys so you guys can check it out yourselves but it just gives a little bit of a comparison with the new authority the prospective authority that we have through otp what the salary is and how it has raised um just recently so average on average a pa makes about 102 thousand dollars a year i know that in the state that i'm in and in the city that i'm in at some of the hospitals here a new grad can make upwards to 130 000 if you're working in the er so that is like amazing that is an amazing salary as a new graduate 25 26 27 you know 33 42 however old you are coming out that you can make that much money just coming out straight out of school that's honestly like that's beyond that's you know that's actually like an anomaly that's not what all new grads made coming out of school but that is what can happen here in the state and city that i'm in however the average salary is about 102 000 um 102 000 dollars generally it can run a little bit lower like 98 000 a little bit higher um 111 000 130 000 um that's all with incentives and sign-on bonuses and such but that's generally speaking the average um i know that forb stated that with the new prospective authority that's actually going on in the pa profession that um 43 states have uh actually like adopted this in any of the states that have adopted the full you know kind of prospective authority um which is otp the average salary has gone from 103 879 to 106 594 so that is a that's a nice little pretty jump you know that's three thousand dollars extra um a year that they are now getting and i think that it's only going to rise um as more people get gain access to health care as the baby boomers start to retire and need you know a little bit more health care the profession is only going to rise and the demand is only going to rise and therefore the salary is only going to rise so currently it's about 106 000 but it's only um going to go up from here uh there are 43 states plus the district of columbia that have actually adopted the full prospective authority which is otp meaning that you're able to collaborate with the physician you no longer need them to sign off you're not like dependent as you were before everything is determined at the actual practice level as opposed to like state and national level so that's actually like a benefit with respect to salary and what is expected coming out of school and you know what you can look forward to when you are negotiating those contracts there are some states that still need to come on board obviously but 43 is not bad like that's a good number to start off with so kudos to you 43 states and the district of columbia and um this article came out actually maybe four days ago so who knows maybe something happened within these last four days where some other states came on but we don't know quite sure yet so we'll continue to look out for that one um so specifically a pa um actually says that pa's will tend to make an an additional like two to four thousand dollars more annually so the actual salary is only going to rise about two to four thousand dollars more annually but i honestly see that happening um i think that's a really modest rise i think it's going to be a little bit more than that especially as pa schools become more competitive um as the pa profession becomes more widely known um and as you know pa's go out there and do some amazing things i think it's only going to be um a lot more money uh that they're gaining annually each year so for the states who have adopted um actually like no longer needing any type of co-signature or um you're just actually determining things at the practice level i believe there's 29 states per Forbes um the actual salary is a hundred and seven thousand dollars as opposed to a hundred and four thousand dollars so again as the more autonomy comes that salary is going to only rise and um the the best way of making things like that happen is just by going out there and being great practitioners really serving your community serving those people that you're trying to help and and doing an amazing job job and showing that pa's can do it um we can do that and you know it's kind of just heartening like you all like you almost feel like you know like a little child like yes we are the babies in the profession or like man like we can do this like hey big brother i can do this i can do that too um so you kind of feel like you're just striving and fighting for um the opportunities that you feel like you should already have that you know that you can do um but at this point in time that's something that we have to do everyone has gone through their growing pains um and p's had to do it and now pa's are doing it and we'll get there you guys so don't worry about that all right we will definitely get there all right so just to give you guys a little bit more of insight on the trends that have actually happened um Merritt Hawkins uh stated that the starting salary for pa's in 2017 jumped to 120 thousand dollars and again that is with incentives and bonuses sign-on bonuses and such but that is in comparison to 114 thousand dollars last year and 107 thousand dollars in 2015 so as you can see it's like you know seven thousand dollars is being tacked on for sign-on bonuses and it's only going to rise so this is a great profession to be in it's a great time to join the profession it's a great time to apply to pa schools and get into pa schools and become a pa because the profession is on the rise you can find areas where you're able to get really nice um signing on bonuses and really great starting salaries and ultimately you're still able to help your family but also serve the community which is what it's all about so again the average salary or so is about a hundred um in two thousand dollars like just starting off but you have your higher ends and your lower ends and as otp continues to take um root in these different states it's only going to rise um so hopefully you guys are excited as i am about the future um and what it holds for the pa profession i cannot wait to see where we are in 10 years and um even 10 years after that how much the landscape has changed but i know it's going to be amazing um go out there and do some more research you guys figure it out and um pave the way and you guys will you know just better the profession for those coming up behind you all right thank you guys so much for watching and thank you for requesting this if you have any other questions go ahead and leave it in the comment section below and i will be sure to get back to it thanks talk to you later bye
