Physician Assistants are true health
professionals, who practice medicine as
part of a team supervised by a physician.
Their extensive education, experience
and licensing allow them to diagnose
and treat the same medical conditions
as their physician teammates. Today
certified PA’s are an invaluable resource
within our healthcare system.
