What is the role of a physicians assistant?
A Physician Assistant can be a wonderful asset to a medical practice. They practice under the direct supervision of a physician, and are able to perform exams, diagnose, and treat. In the state of Michigan they are also allowed to prescribe medications. It is a master's program that consists of 1 year of didactics (classroom/lectures) and 1 year of clinicals (rotations). It is very similar to a medical school curriculum but basically cut in half. PA's are not required to do a residency in a specific specialty after they graduate (as physicians do) but are expected to be trained by the physician in their specialty. This may be changing in the future though. I started out as a PA in Neurology prior to attending and completing medical school. I practiced for 10 years as a PA but did find that I was constantly in search of additional education to assist my patients with complicated medical illnesses. Nutrition and Functional Medicine have been a cornerstone of my educational process for many years and I am now able to incorporate this in my medical practice as an MD. I would highly recommend the PA profession as it is very rewarding! But I am a little biased as I love the practice of medicine! READ MORE
