description:
A physician assistant is a person who has successfully completed an accredited education
program for physician assistant, is licensed by the state and is practicing within
the scope of that license. Physician assistants are formally trained to perform many
of the routine, time-consuming tasks a physician can do. In some states, they may
prescribe medications. They take medical histories, perform physical exams, order
lab tests and x-rays, and give inoculations. Most states require that they work under
the supervision of a physician.
