akdEM Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Very interesting. What do you think accounts for such a huge jump in average salary? I know it has to do with PAs dominating the higher paying specialties, but that seems like an awfully drastic increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it has to do with PAs dominating the higher paying specialties, but that seems like an awfully drastic increase. It might be a small sample size. I took the survey and have a relatively higher salary than most PAs in family medicine. Maybe all us outliers took the survey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the report says way more people took it this time than in years past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
