Physician Assistant Studies
Physician assistants have the training, flexibility and agility to respond immediately to the demands placed on the U.S. healthcare system.
A physician assistant (PA) is a medical professional who is nationally certified and state-licensed to practice medicine. By design, physicians and PAs work together as a team. PAs deliver high-quality care and research shows that patients are just as satisfied with PA-provided care as they are with physician care.
