Physician Assistants (P.A.)

Physicians assistant is one of the fastest growing fields of the health professions. Physicians assistants are moving into medically underserved areas to make healthcare available to the thousands of Americans without physicians. PAs practice medicine under physician supervision, but perform many similar services such as performing physicals, ordering tests and taking medical histories.
