Hey guys it's Adana, welcome back to my channel. I have breaking news, breaking news, breaking news for you guys. As many of you know, I did a PA salary video a little while back, I think last year actually. Man we've been doing this for a year you guys. But yeah so I did this video about the PA salary last year and that was for 2017 or 2016 but now it came out for 2018, the Forbes PA salary. And so I want to just kind of inform you guys of some of the really cool things that are changing in the PA salary and a lot of it is kind of because of what's happening in the PA career as a whole. So that is what we're going to be talking about. The PA salary, how much does the PA make right now in 2018? Money, money, money, must be funny, in the rich man's world. What do we call that? That's the money debt. That's the money debt? Yes. Okay so this is from Forbes. It says, as states ease hurdles to physician assistants, salaries eclipse 100,000. As states allow physician assistants to gain more access to patients, PA salaries are rising above 100,000 across the country according to a new report. That is amazing you guys and I mean as a perspective like PAC, somebody that's going to be looking into actually like, hey what's a good salary, how much am I worth essentially. What is it that I can negotiate for? This is great news to hear because you know like what your counterparts may be getting paid even though I may be a new grad, I'm still like I'm still valuable so this is really good to hear. It says the American Academy of PAs says PA median based salaries rose nearly 3% to 105,000 last year from 102,000 in 2016. As states lift restrictions and regulatory hurdles to allow physician assistants to work more collaboratively with physicians as the team-based approach to healthcare takes hold. State laws that create barriers to PA practice are associated with lower base salaries for PAs. For example, states where scope of practice is determined at the practice level, the mean pay was $4,000 higher or $108,722, then states that didn't allow the private practice to determine a PA's role. And when there was no requirements that a PA sign a chart known as the chart co-signature, the mean salary was $2,000 higher or $108,225. The latest study to show rising compensation for PAs, a profile of the profession from the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistance earlier this year showed certified PAs earn an average salary of $107,718. Yay! Breaking news, you guys. This article is new. It's fresh off the press and it is talking about the PA salary. It's saying that we're making upwards to $108,000 a year and that has risen 3% since 2016, which is great. And I only see it rising even more. There are more and more physician assistants being pushed out. There are more PAs going to school to become PACs. I think that the profession is only going to continue to grow. And as we get a stronger voice, there's going to be more that we're able to do in more areas and fields that we're able to go and break down doors and be a part of. And I cannot wait to see exactly what that looks like, what that landscape, I guess you could say, looks like on the horizon. So if you guys have any other videos that you'd like me to do, go ahead and leave that in the comment section below. Tell me what you think about this whole $108,000. I mean, that's really good. I feel like, I mean, that's a lot of money. I know some of you are like, honey, okay, like making that low six figures. That's nothing. I mean, for me, I think that's a lot of money, especially if you spent like $70,000 going to school. So great article. Leave your comments in the comment section below. Let me know what you think.
