As a full time PA I often find that many question "what is" my profession. So in one of my articles for AC (Associated Content) I have laid it out the best I could. I give a brief description of my role as a PA in hopes to clarify some of these questions. What is a Physician Assistant?
At least this will explain a little about what we do. And yes in our field there are many who have different roles in all specialties and as a growing profession I am sure that you may have encountered one in some way. We can all hope that the experience was a professional and pleasant encounter as it should be with any health care provider.
I would love to say that I hear only pleasant stories about health care providers, but we all know including myself that we have had a few that either lack professionalism and have no "people skills" and some that may or may not, but present with a lack of knowledge as well. Which I say sometimes it is Ok as long as the answer is being sought. And with medicine honesty is the best policy. It builds trust between the provider and patient. Agree?
