150k base private ortho practice in MD. Many in our group get production bonuses that bring them close or over 200k. We also have optional after hrs urgent care that are 100-130hr depending on day of the week. These reports are always brought down by the influx of new grads and postings that never go filled because of the low advertised salary
Yes, this particular survey is based off posted salaries and not actual offers, so it is lower than what PAs are actually making.
Interesting, but seems low?
Lower than other reports, like aapa and nccpa
Base $180K at primary job and $110/hour at per diem position.
Wow that’s great compensation
That’s a bit more that I made in 1975 when I first started, $12,000!

120,000 outpatient Neurology clinic, community hospital in Darby, PA
is that total compensation? or base salary?
These salary numbers are ALWAYS low, I personally know multiple PAs earning $160k +
Yes, a lot depends on how the data is collected. Base + bonus? only base?
