2022-24 Physician Assistant Workforce Survey Page 2 of 23 Key Definitions Certification of Added Qualifications (CAQs): Physician assistants (PAs) were asked to provide information on any certifications for added qualifications they held. The National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) lists 11 specialty areas. Survey respondents hold CAQs in Cardiovascular/Thoracic Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Hospital Medicine, Nephrology, Orthopedic Surgery, Pediatrics, and Psychiatry. PAs Actively Practicing in Florida: PAs who are actively practicing medicine in Florida, have a valid practice address in a Florida county, and possess a valid license in active status. PAs Not Included in this Report: Not included are PAs holding a Florida license who took the survey and indicated that they did not practice medicine in Florida during the twelve months prior to taking the survey; PAs with inactive licenses; PAs whose primary practice location is not in Florida (based on county responses); and PAs whose license status as of July 22, 2024, does not authorize them to practice (administrative suspension, delinquent, emergency suspension, military active, retired, suspended, and voluntary withdrawal). PAs Workforce Survey: The survey completed by all PAs biennially during the Florida physician assistant license renewal process. Primary Care PAs: PAs indicating a sub-specialty in Family Medicine (0400-0406), General Internal Medicine (0500-0501), or General Pediatrics (1400-1401), as defined by the American Academy of Family Physicians. In this survey, all practice locations with unique sub-specialty information were included. Primary Specialty: The supervisor’s primary practice specialty reported by the PAs.
2022-24 Physician Assistant Workforce Survey Page 3 of 23 Specialty Area: PAs were asked to provide the specialty area(s) of their supervising physician.1 Reponses included specialty area, and, in parentheses, any sub-specialty areas identified in any of the three practice locations: 01 Anesthesiology (0100-0104) 02 Dermatology (0200, 0203-0204) 03 Emergency Medicine (0300-0301, 03040305) 04 Family Medicine (0400-0403, 04050406) 05 Internal Medicine (0500-0511, 05130521) 06 Medical Genetics (0600) 07 Neurology (0700, 0704, 0706-0708) 08 Nuclear Medicine (0800) 09 Obstetrics and Gynecology (0900-0902, 0904-0905) 10 Ophthalmology (1000) 11 Orthopedic Medicine (1100-1103) 12 Otolaryngology (1200-1204) 13 Pathology (1300, 1307) 14 Pediatrics (1400, 1404-1405, 1408-1409, 1411-1415, 1417, 1420-1422, 1425-1427) 15 Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (1500, 1503, 1505-1506) 16 Preventive Medicine (1600-1601, 16041606) 18 Psychiatry (1800-1801, 1803-1804, 1806-1807) 19 Radiology (1900-1902, 1909, 1912) 20 Surgery (2000-2002, 2004-2011) 21 Urology (2100-2101). 1 Appendix A provides the list of specialty and subspecialties published by Department of Health as form DH MQA 5025 (07/17) under Rule 64B-9.002 Physician and Physician Assistant Survey Procedures.
2022-24 Physician Assistant Workforce Survey Page 4 of 23 Executive Summary The 2017 Florida Legislature required a PA Workforce Survey comparable to the Physician Workforce Survey completed by allopathic and osteopathic physicians as part of license renewal, as provided in sections 458.347(6)(b)1.c and 458.347(6)(b)2, Florida Statutes. PAs are required to complete the survey every two years when they renew their license to practice.2 A total of 14,427 PAs renewed their license in 2022 and 2024 and responded to the workforce survey,3 which is a 22.9% increase from the number of PAs who responded to the 2021 and 2023 surveys. Of the 14,427 PA survey respondents who renewed their license in 2022 and 2024 and responded to the workforce survey, 14,342 (or 99.4%) responded to the question about whether they were practicing in Florida; 85% of PA survey respondents who answered this question (or 12,612 of 14,342) confirmed that they were practicing in Florida. With the exception of the PA demographic data, the findings presented in this report are based on the 14,427 PAs who responded to the survey at the time of their renewals in 2022 and 2024.4 • The overall pattern of demographic data from the Florida Department of Health, Division of Medical Quality Assurance (MQA) licensure database and survey respondents reveals 68.6% of renewing PAs are female, 74% are White, and 34.9% are 31-40 years of age. • The top four specialty areas of PAs in Florida are Internal Medicine (21%), Family Medicine (15%), Emergency Medicine (14%), and Dermatology (8%). • Primary care PAs account for 39% of the PA workforce who renewed in 2022 and 2024, which is 19% more than the primary care PAs reported in 2021 and 2023. • Over 49.4% of PAs work in an office practice setting and 33.5% practice in a hospital. • More PAs report their practice accepts new Medicare patients (86.3%) compared to new Medicaid patients (66.5%). • A total of 6.2% of PAs have already retired or plan to retire in the next five years. An additional 7.7% of respondents indicate plans to relocate out of state in the next five years. In total, these PAs represent 14% (or 2,000 of 14,342) of the PAs who renewed in 2022 and 2024. 2 Newly licensed PAs do not complete a survey. 3 It should be noted that not every PA who responded to the survey provided a response to every question. Therefore, the findings generated for each question are based on the number of PAs who responded to that question and not the total number of survey respondents. 4 The PA demographic data is not captured through the PA Workforce Survey; rather, demographic information is captured through MQA’s licensure database, which stores PA’s self-reported information about their age, ethnicity, and sex (also referred to as a licensure profile). More PAs completed their licensure profile than completed the 2022 and 2024 survey (or 14,837 compared to 14,427, respectively).
2022-24 Physician Assistant Workforce Survey Page 5 of 23 Introduction The 2024 Physician Assistant Workforce Annual Report is based on responses to the Florida Physician Assistant Workforce Survey. The survey was established as part of the biennial licensure process for PAs in sections 458.347(7) and 459.022(7), Florida Statutes, effective July 1, 2018. PAs must renew their licenses every other year to continue practicing. Since the survey is only administered upon licensure renewal, newly licensed PAs are not included in this analysis. The survey5 is administered in the same manner as the physician workforce survey established by section 458.3191, Florida Statutes, and is submitted to the Florida Boards of Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine by MQA. A total of 14,427 PAs6 renewed their license during 2022 and 2024 and responded to the workforce survey. Of those who responded to the prompt, 12,162 out of 14,342 (for a 99.4% response rate) respondents (85%) said that they are actively practicing medicine in Florida. This report presents findings from the 14,427 PAs who responded to the survey at the time of their renewals in 2022 and 2024. The Council on Physician Assistants The Council on Physician Assistants (Council), established by sections 458.347(9) and 459.022(9), Florida Statutes, makes recommendations to the Florida Department of Health (Department) on the licensure of physician assistants. The Council develops rules regulating the use of PAs by physicians, makes recommendations to the Florida Boards of Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine regarding all matters relating to PAs, and addresses concerns of practicing PAs to improve safety in the clinical practice of licensed PAs. 5 It should be noted that the Physician Workforce Survey was updated in 2019. The Physician Assistant Workforce Survey is based on the previous version of the Physician Workforce Survey. 6 It should be noted that not every PA who responded to the survey responded to every question, therefore the statistics generated for each question are based on the number of respondents for each question and not the total number of overall respondents.

Dayne Alonso, PA PA Workforce Demographics With a population as large as 22,993,039 residents, Florida is ranked as the third most populous state in nation.7 Figure 2 compares the sex, ethnicity, and race between the PAs who selfreported their demographic information via MQA’s licensure database (14,8378), and Florida’s overall population. 7 According to the FLHealthCharts population dashboard, “2022 Population by County.” 8 The PA demographic data is not captured through the PA Workforce Survey; rather, demographic information is captured through MQA’s licensure database, which stores PA’s self-reported information about their age, ethnicity, and sex (also referred to as a licensure profile). More PAs completed their licensure profile than completed the 2022 and 2024 survey (or 14,837 compared to 14,427, respectively).
2022-24 Physician Assistant Workforce Survey Page 7 of 23 Trends in PAs by Sex, Ethnicity, and Race As shown by Figure 2, the majority of Florida’s PAs who self-reported their demographic data information via MQA’s licensure database are female: 68.6% (or 10,181 of 14,837), compared to 31.4% (or 4,656 of 14,837) of males.9 Additionally,10.9% (or 1,662) of PAs who self-reported their demographic information did not provide ethnicity/race information or chose “Other,” compared to 89.1% who did (this is a 95.1% response rate for the total demographic data). Of these, 74.0% identified as White, 15.1% as Hispanic, 5.6% as Asian, 5.1% as African American, and 0.31% as Native American. FIGURE 2: TRENDS IN PAs BY SEX, ETHNICITY, AND RACE Female White African American Native American Asian Hispanic U.S. Census Bureau Florida 50.8% 76.8% 17.0% 0.5% 3.1% 27.1% 2022-24 Survey Respondents 68.6% 74.0% 5.1% 0.3% 5.6% 15.1% While the age range of PAs in this report spans from 23 to 89, the average PAs who responded to the survey were 40 years of age. As shown by Figure 3, the majority of PAs are 31-40 years old at 34.9% of respondents, followed by 23.7% aged 20-30, and 19.6% aged 41-50. The percentage of PAs working past the current retirement age (over 66) is 2.9% (or 446 respondents). The 2021-23 PA Workforce Survey reported the age range of PAs as 25 to 88, compared to the 23 to 89 for the 2022-24 survey, which may reflect more young people entering the workforce. This is further supported in the mode of PA ages reported dropping from 33 to 28 and the average age dropping from 44 to 40. 9 The PA demographic data is not captured through the PA Workforce Survey; rather, demographic information is captured through MQA’s licensure database, which stores PA’s self-reported information about their age, ethnicity, and sex (also referred to as a licensure profile). More PAs completed their licensure profile than completed the 2022 and 2024 survey (or 14,837 compared to 14,427, respectively).
2022-24 Physician Assistant Workforce Survey Page 8 of 23 FIGURE 3: AGE OF PAs PA Workforce Practice Characteristics The 2022-24 PA Workforce Survey collects information specific to the practice of health care. What are PAs doing (specialty areas), where do they do it (practice settings), and how much time do they spend with patients compared to other tasks? The survey also reports information on PAs whose practice settings accept Medicaid and Medicare. Of the total number of PAs who responded to the survey, 83.4% answered questions about their specialty area (or 12,035 of 14,427). Figure 4 captures the distribution of specialty area reported by 12,035 PAs for all practice locations; 872 respondents did not list a primary practice location. The top three reported specialty areas are Internal Medicine, making up 20.7% of respondents, Family Medicine at 15.1%, and Surgery at 14.4%. The top three subspecialty areas (Family Medicine at 1,752, Emergency Medicine at 1,572, and Internal Medicine at 1,106) comprise 36.8% of the total PA workforce that responded to this question (4,430 of 12,035 reported). 3,655 5,377 3,018 2,019 988 180 8 0 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 20 - 30 31 - 40 41 - 50 51 - 60 61 - 70 71 - 80 81 - 90 Total

2022-24 Physician Assistant Workforce Survey Page 11 of 23 When asked about where they earned their PA degree, 83.8% of PAs responded (12,096 of 14,427), the majority of whom reported earning their PA degree in Florida (80.7% or 7,082 of 12,096). The majority of others earned their PA degree in different states including Georgia, New York, Alabama, and Pennsylvania. Figure 7 lists the top five states where most PAs earned their degrees. FIGURE 7: TOP 5 STATES WHERE PAs EARNED THEIR DEGREES State Number Percentage Florida 7,082 58.5% New York 841 7.0% Pennsylvania 652 5.4% Georgia 398 3.3% Alabama 294 2.4% NCCPA offers 11 specialty certificates, also referred to as Certificates of Added Qualifications (CAQs). The CAQ is a voluntary credential that Certified PAs can earn in 11 specialties. Figure 8 reveals the number of specialty area CAQs earned by the 12,051 PAs who responded to this survey question. It is important to note that 92.7% of respondents reported that they have not earned a CAQ. FIGURE 8: PAs WITH A CAQ 11,174 877 No Yes

On-call emergency room coverage was provided by 16% of respondents, and 15.6% reported working in trauma centers or attending trauma patients. Primary Practice Location Patients Type of Insurance When asked to report whether they accepted new Medicare patients at their primary practice location, 82.1% (or 11,848 of 14,427) PAs responded, the majority of whom said they accepted new Medicare patients at their primary practice location (86.3% or 10,223). Slightly fewer PAs responded when asked whether they accept new Medicaid patients at their primary practice location (81.4%), where over half reported accepting new Medicaid patients at their primary practice location (66.5% or 7,805).
2022-24 Physician Assistant Workforce Survey Page 16 of 23 Reported Salary Ranges PAs who provided their approximate annual salary earn $116,163, on average, which is 5% more than was reported by the 2021 and 2023 survey respondents. Figure 14 illustrates the distribution of the 10,762 respondents who provided this information, (unusable responses were removed). The majority of PAs who responded reported an approximate annual salary between $106,000 and $120,000, at 26.9% (or 2,849 of 10,762 respondents). FIGURE 14: REPORTED SALARY RANGES BY PAs Workforce Attrition The survey contains two sets of questions to address current and prospective changes in licensed PAs: retirement and relocation, to which 23,862 responses were provided. When asked about their plans to retire, 82.8% (or 11,946 of 14,427) responded. Nearly 8% of PA survey respondents said that they have already retired or are planning to retire within the next five years (or 895 of 11,946) whereas 9% said they plan to relocate (or 1,105 of 11,916). Compared to the responses provided in the 2019-21 PA Workforce Survey, the same percentage of PAs have retired or are planning to retire (8%) and 1% more of PAs plan to relocate. 159 106 108 238 283 1,017 2,543 2,849 1,458 1,112 280 265 54 181 28 81 $0 $500 $1,000 $1,500 $2,000 $2,500 $3,000 Total
