PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT

A Physician Assistant is part of a healthcare team of collaborating doctors and other medical providers. They have a wide range of specialties and their training is based on medical education but only takes two-three years of full-time study at the master degree level. Post-master degree study is required for some specialties. Clinical rotations include family medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, emergency medicine, and geriatric medicine. How much is PA a trusted and respected profession? Example: There are Military Physician Assistants working in the White House who provide medical care to the POTUS.
