Physicians Assistants

Physician Assistants:

A fast-growing profession in Oklahoma

Forbes named Physician Assistant the #1 most promising job for millennials in 2017. In that same year, it was the #5 fastest growing profession in America according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Oklahoma is no different. Each year the interest in the profession grows, and we now have 3 accredited PA Programs with 2 more in process. With approximately 1600 PAs in the state, we are proud to be part of the solution to the physician shortage crisis. PAs in Oklahoma serve in a diverse range of communities and specialties and are highly engaged in continuing education and advocacy opportunities.
