Physician Assistants (PA’s) are health care professionals licensed to practice medicine with physician supervision. Sharing in the responsibility of patient care, their comprehensive role includes conducting physical exams, diagnosing and treating illnesses, ordering and interpreting tests, counseling patients on preventative health care, assisting with surgeries, performing select procedures and writing prescriptions. While PA’s work in collaboration and direct partnership with physicians, they exercise autonomy in medical decision making and provide a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic services to patients.

Physician Assistants are educated in the medical model designed to complement physician training. They undergo intensive educational programs accredited by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) and upon graduation, take a national certifying exam developed by the NCCPA, in conjunction with the National Board of Medical examiners. In order to maintain national certification, PA’s must log 100 hours of continuing medical education every two years and sit for recertification exams every six years.
