Physician Assistant | Pain Management | Outpatient Specialty Practice

Rooted Insights

If You Enjoy

Building relationships with patients managing ongoing pain, evaluating how treatment affects daily function, and combining medication management with hands-on care. This opportunity offers a substantial medication management focus, with potential injection responsibilities based on experience and the needs of the practice.

One Thing That Stood Out

A base salary of $120,000–$140,000, depending on experience, plus quarterly production bonuses. The practice reports that its pain management APPs commonly earn an additional $50,000–$60,000 annually in production bonuses. Individual earnings vary based on productivity and the compensation plan.

Team Culture

Work within a pain management service where physicians perform most interventional procedures and APPs contribute to ongoing patient management. Many APPs also perform injections, creating an opportunity to discuss a clinical mix that fits your skills.

Recruiter’s Perspective

The distinction between medication management and procedural expectations matters when evaluating a pain management position. Here, medication management is a substantial part of the role, with potential involvement in injections rather than an expectation to take on a heavily interventional caseload. The quarterly bonus structure adds another meaningful consideration for an experienced PA evaluating their next move.

Why You'll Love This Opportunity

Pain management offers the opportunity to follow patients over time and understand how treatment translates into everyday life. For a PA who values those ongoing relationships, this role centers on evaluating progress, managing medications, and helping patients work toward meaningful improvements in function.

Medication management will represent a substantial portion of the work.

That makes this an opportunity to explore if you enjoy clinical assessment, thoughtful follow-up, and adjusting treatment in collaboration with physicians.

The practice is considering a combination of medical and procedural responsibilities, with the exact balance still to be defined.

There may also be room to use your injection skills. Many of the practice’s APPs perform injections, while physicians handle most interventional procedures.

For candidates who want some hands-on variety alongside longitudinal care, that distinction creates a useful conversation about clinical interests, existing experience, and expectations.

The compensation model offers a defined base salary alongside quarterly production incentives. The practice reports additional annual bonus earnings of $50,000–$60,000 are common among its pain APPs.

Candidates should review how productivity is measured, when bonus eligibility begins, and how the plan would apply to their individual role.

With potential needs across several Northern Nevada communities, your location will be an important part of the conversation.

The team particularly welcomes candidates who already live nearby or have an established plan to move to the region.

That makes this especially relevant for a local PA seeking a specialty opportunity or someone ready to turn a planned relocation into a concrete career move.
