The Alabama Society of PAs (ASPA) is conducting a statewide PA Compensation & Benefits Survey to better understand physician assistant salaries, benefits, productivity incentives, and employment trends across Alabama.  Compensation data can vary significantly by specialty, experience, geographic region, practice setting, and employment model. By collecting this information directly from Alabama PAs, ASPA hopes to provide a clearer picture of the current PA employment market and help PAs make informed career and compensation decisions.

Why Participate?

Your response will help ASPA:

• Establish meaningful compensation benchmarks for PAs across Alabama

• Compare compensation across specialties, regions, and practice settings

• Better understand salary negotiation and productivity-based compensation

• Identify trends in benefits, bonuses, call requirements, and workload

• Understand why PAs accept or decline job offers

• Identify areas where Alabama PA compensation may differ from national trends

• Support ASPA’s advocacy and workforce efforts

• Provide Alabama PAs with valuable compensation information when evaluating or negotiating employment opportunities

What We’re Asking

The survey includes questions about:

Compensation: base salary, initial and negotiated offers, bonuses and incentives, productivity and RVU compensation, call and overtime pay

Benefits: health, retirement, disability, and malpractice coverage, CME and professional expenses, paid time off, parental leave, retirement contributions

Employment & Practice: specialty and practice setting, geographic region, years of experience, practice size and ownership, work schedule and patient volume

Negotiation & Career Decisions: salary negotiation experiences, offers accepted and declined, factors influencing employment decisions, future career plans

Your Voice Matters

Whether you are a new graduate, an experienced PA, working in private practice, employed by a health system, practicing in an academic setting, or working in another practice environment, your experience matters.

The more Alabama PAs who participate, the more useful and representative the data will be.

Confidentiality

The survey does not require your name or employer information. Compensation responses will be analyzed and reported in aggregate. Any contact information voluntarily provided to ASPA for membership or other follow-up will be kept separate from compensation responses.
