Occupation
Physician Assistant
A physician assistant (PA) diagnoses illnesses, develops treatment plans, performs clinical procedures, and prescribes medications, working collaboratively with physicians in hospitals, clinics, or specialty practices. PAs document care in electronic health records and spend significant time on patient education, helping patients understand diagnoses and manage chronic conditions.
