What are the pros of being a physician assistant?

One of the primary advantages of being a physician’s assistant is needed to only finish a two-year program to get qualified.

Becoming a physician’s assistant is one of the most in-demand careers today. It is also one of the fastest-growing careers, expected to grow up to 38 percent by 2022, according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS). The job opportunities as a physician’s assistant are vast because a graduate can work in all areas of medicine. Moreover, the working conditions and the compensation for physician’s assistants are better than other careers in health care. In the Occupational Outlook Handbook published online by the BLS, as of 2014, the annual median pay of a physician assistant is $90,930 or $43.72 per hour.
