Did you know that 45% of PAs and 54% of all PA students in 2022 were interested in working in rural settings? Learn more about PAs and PA students interest in this short infographic.

More than one in every seven PAs in the United States are age 55 or older and approaching retirement, with a majority of PAs predicting they will retire by age 65. As more PAs approach retirement, it is important to understand the similarities and differences between older PAs approaching retirement (55 or older) and younger PAs (under 55). Knowledge of potential skills gaps as well as where healthcare worker shortages may arise will allow health services researchers better understand the future of the profession.
