Physician Assistant (cont…)

(cont…)

In order to be a physician Assistant you must be a degree holder and must take either of the following graduate programs: “Physician Assistant Studies (MPAS)”, “Health Science (MHS)”, or “Medical Science (MMS)”.

Physician Assistant are advance practice clinicians therefore they can obtain medical histories, perform examination and procedures, order treatments, diagnose illness, prescribe medication, order and interpret diagnostic tests, refer patients to specialists when appropriate and first-assist in surgery.

Lastly, as far as I researched the net, only US University offers this PA’s curriculum. Therefore this medical career is only applicable in the Federal state of America.
