Physician assistants are helping to feel this critical need by providing equal, if not better care, than most traditional house staff services. Physician assistants are healthcare professionals who practice medicine under the supervision of physicians and surgeons. They are trained to conduct physical exams, provide diagnostic and preventive healthcare services, order and interpret tests, treat minor injuries and may prescribe certain medications. Physician Assistants practice in all areas of medicine like primary care medicine that is internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics and family medicine and in surgery, as well.

It is a requirement in all States for physician assistants to complete an accredited formal education program which usually takes at least 2 years at medical schools, academic health centers, allied health schools or 4 year colleges. All physician assistants who graduate from accredited PA education programs must obtain a license by passing a Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination.

Physician assistants earn from $68,000 to $97,000 annually. However, there are some factors affecting how income varies such as years of experience, specialty, geographical location and practice setting.
