Physician Assistant
A physician assistant (PA) is a type of mid-level health care provider. PAs may diagnose illnesses, develop and manage treatment plans, prescribe medications, and may serve as a principal healthcare provider. PAs are required in many states to have a direct agreement with a physician. PAs complete their training in less time than a traditional medical degree, and do not complete any residency training.
