MoreA Physician Assistant (PA) is a healthcare professional who works under the supervision of a licensed physician to provide medical care to patients. PAs are trained to perform many of the same tasks as physicians, including taking medical histories, conducting physical exams, ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests, and developing and implementing treatment plans. PAs may work in a variety of healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and private practices. They may specialize in a particular area of medicine, such as emergency medicine, pediatrics, or surgery. To become a PA, individuals must complete a rigorous education and training program, typically including a master's degree from an accredited program, and pass a national certification examination. PAs are also required to complete ongoing continuing education requirements to maintain their licensure. PAs play an important role in the healthcare system by providing high-quality medical care to patients under the supervision of licensed physicians. They work as part of a healthcare team to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care to improve patient outcomes and promote overall health and wellness.
