Role of a Physician Assistant
|
| |
- Physician Assistants (PAs) are formally trained professionals who provide diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive health care services under the supervision of licensed physicians.
- Work as members of the health care team by taking medical histories, examining and treating patients, ordering and interpreting laboratory tests and x-rays, making diagnoses, prescribing medications, and managing life-threatening emergencies.
- Treat minor injuries by suturing, splinting, and casting.
- PAs may also serve as principal care providers in rural or inner-city clinics where a physician is present for only one or two days each week.
