Physician Assistants
Physician assistants (PAs) are health care professionals licensed to practice medicine as part of a team that is directed by a doctor. Educated in the same medical model as doctors, PAs provide a broad range of health care services that are often the same as those you might receive from your doctor.
PAs allow your visit with the physician to happen in a more timely and efficient manner. You will find that PAs are generally very accessible and are able to spend more time with you during a visit.
The scope of PA responsibilities corresponds to the supervising physician’s practice. Each PA must be licensed and have a supervising physician in order to practice medicine.
PAs can:
- Conduct physical exams
- Diagnose and treat illness
- Order and interpret tests
- Develop treatment plans
- Counsel on preventive health care
- Assist in surgery
- Write prescriptions
