🩺 Physician Assistants (PAs) have long been an essential part of patient care, but how well known is their scope of practice and autonomy?

➡️ PAs may lead independent workups, treatment plans, discharge decisions and continuity of care, demonstrating that they often serve as primary care providers.

With generalists training, students in our Physician Assistant Studies Program are suited to serve communities in need once they graduate.

“A physician assistant can go where the need is—a rural hospital, an underserved primary care clinic, a specialty short on hands—without re-entering years of additional formal training,” explains Chair and Program Director Justin M. Gambini, DMSc, PA-C, DFAAPA.

As we kick off (Oct. 6 - 12), look beyond the title and explore what PAs do: https://tinyurl.com/2s4frezw
