What is a physician assistant?
Physician assistants (PAs) are highly skilled, regulated health-care professionals trained to deliver quality care as versatile generalists. Collaborating closely with licensed physicians – either on-site or through remote supervision – PAs play a vital role in fostering health and wellness within communities. With a background that may include nurses, paramedics, respiratory therapists or internationally trained physicians, PAs adapt seamlessly to various medical environments, ensuring comprehensive care for patients.
