Contract Assessment and Negotiation Checklist

It’s important to negotiate a contract that empowers you, fits your needs, and protects you. The checklist can help you assess an employer’s contract and identify areas for negotiation.

Anatomy of a Contract

Use our interactive tool to familiarize yourself with a contract. We’ve outlined the key elements typically found in PA employment contracts and offered some advice on what to expect, ask for, and be wary of in each section.

AAPA is committed to connecting pre-PAs, PA Students, and PAs at all career stages with the resources they need to navigate every step of their career journey. There are hundreds of resources in the Career Central library, and we are adding more all the time.
