Am I a doctor now? No I'm not. I thought I'd never go back to school though. I always thought I was too old. But I've been recently challenged into thinking otherwise. I'm a Physician Assistant or "PA". I am trained (bachelors and masters degrees), and licensed to practice medicine and perform physician services with physician supervision. I've been practicing my profession for over 20 years and have assisted on thousands of surgery cases. I do not have residency education as my physician supervisors, but do have a sound working knowledge of the profession and the specialty from working with some of the brightest and most educated physicians in the U.S. Now it's my turn.
Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.
