What do you know about Physician Assistants (PAs)? 𩺠In honor of PA Week, student leaders from the Physician Assistant (PA) Studies class of 2024 quizzed other students on what they already knew about the PA profession. Our PA students helped correct some misconceptions and educated those from other programs. So what is a PA? PAs are licensed clinicians who practice medicine in every specialty and setting. They are health professionals who practice medicine with supervision by licensed physicians, delivering a broad range of medical and surgical services. #YourPACan
