Physician assistant median salary for all 50 states

The median annual salary for full-time clinical physician assistants was $102,000 in 2016, an increase of 5.2 percent over the year prior, according to the 2017 AAPA Salary Report.

Although California has the highest median PA salary ($118,000), it falls toward the bottom of the list once cost-of-living adjustments are taken into account. On the flipside, states where PAs report lower salaries may find they have greater purchasing power after cost-of-living adjustments are made, according to the report.
