Physician Assistant in Portugal: read the median against a +27% outlook

The Portugal national median for a physician assistant is 98 800 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 62 700 € in Porto to 72 300 € in Lisbon (1.2×).

Physician assistants examine, diagnose, and treat patients under a physician's supervision. Common screening skills include Diagnosis, Treatment, Prescribing, and EMR.

A modeled national band runs about 72 100 €–131 400 € around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +27% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Portuguese city.

Lisbon sits -27% vs the national median; Porto sits -37%. Relocating inside Portugal for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.

This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax.
