Physician assistants work under the supervision of licensed physicians and perform many of the same tasks as them, such as taking medical histories, conducting physical exams, ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests, and providing patient education. Physician assistants also often serve as a point of contact between patients and their physicians, providing information and coordination of care.

Additionally, physician assistants often earn competitive salaries and enjoy job satisfaction rates.
What degrees are available in Physician Assisting?
A physician assisting degree can be obtained from many different types of institutions, including community colleges, universities, and medical schools.
