Understanding your practice authority and collaborative requirements as a PA.
PAs practice medicine under collaborative agreements with supervising physicians in all 50 states. Joint injections fall within the PA scope of practice when delegated by your supervising physician and documented in your practice agreement. Most orthopedic, pain management, and primary care physicians readily delegate these procedures to trained PAs, recognizing the value you bring to patient care and practice efficiency.
PAs who can perform procedures are more valuable to their practices, enabling physicians to focus on complex cases while you handle routine injections.
Work with your supervising physician to add joint injections to your practice agreement. Most physicians welcome PAs taking on these delegated procedures.

Joint injection training is often the first step toward a specialized career in musculoskeletal medicine. PAs with these skills are highly sought after by orthopedic groups, sports medicine practices, and pain management clinics. This training can differentiate you from other candidates and lead to more specialized, higher-paying positions.
Many patients wait weeks for specialist appointments to receive joint injections. By performing these procedures in primary care or urgent care settings, you reduce wait times and provide faster relief.
