Women make up approximately 68% of physician associates (PAs) in the United States. This percentage has increased over time, transforming the profession from one that was historically male-dominated to one with a female majority.

Women are increasingly in leadership roles within the Physician Associate (PA) profession, with a growing number taking on roles such as program directors, and contributing to academic and clinical leadership.

However, they still face challenges like systemic barriers, implicit bias, and a lack of clear leadership pathways, though these issues are being addressed through initiatives and a greater focus on creating supportive environments.
