Physician assistants play an increasingly vital role in healthcare. The exact scope of practice for physician assistants is regulated by each individual state. In California, physician assistants can examine patients, assess conditions, order further testing, diagnose health conditions, treat health problems, perform minor procedures, and more. This allows physician assistants to provide primary care under the supervision of a licensed physician.
Physician assistants are able to provide care in many settings. In hospitals, physician assistants can perform procedures and assist during surgeries. In offices and clinics, they’re often able to address a variety of health concerns without a patient needing to see a physician. This can reduce waiting times and cost, helping patients have more access to the care they need. In nursing homes and residential settings, they can make rounds, assess patients, adjust or give treatments, and report any major concerns back to their supervising physician.
