For Employers 
Hire a Physician Assistant
Don't miss the PA Job Link connecting more than 70,000 clinically practicing physician assistants with employers. Be sure to check out the PA credentialing service, jointly sponsored by the AAPA and AMA.
Information describing PAs and specialty practice in a wide range of practice areas will help employers envision the possibilities of team practice.
If you are a hospital that is hiring PAs or a practice that includes hospital care, refer to the AAPA's resources on PAs and hospital practice. Your hospital credentialing staff will be pleased to know that the AMA's Profile Credentialing Service includes PAs.
Additional resources for employers can be found on the "Practice Resources/Employment" section of the AAPA web site.

Consulting the state PA practice act and regulations is a must for employers. These documents define PA scope of practice, physician supervision requirements, prescribing authority, licensing requirements and much more. The AAPA's state laws and regulations map will link you to relevant documents governing PA practice in your state.
