“WHAT IS A PA”?

Physician Assistants are licensed medical/ surgical practioners, trained to evaluate, diagnose,and treat illnesses using the same medical/surgical protocols for physicians and surgeons. A Physician Assistant provides a wide range of physician procedures and services, including assisting in surgury and prescribing medications.

Physician Assistants practice medicine or surgury with the supervision of a licensed physician and are held to the same practice and patient care standings as are physicians and surgeons. The physician is always available for consultation if necessary.
