Physician assistants play a vital role in our health care system. They practice medicine with physician supervision. PAs can give physical exams, diagnose and treat illnesses, assist in surgery and write prescriptions.
The master of science in physician assistant studies is a 2-year program. When you graduate and pass the Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam you are able to get a job. It can be a great alternative to 4 years of medical school followed by a residency.
