Your PA Can Handle It
With thousands of hours of medical training and a versatile skill set, PAs are expanding access to team-based care. When it comes to quality healthcare,
your PA can handle it.
Research on PA Quality
"...PA management of pediatric patients 6 years or younger is similar to that of attending emergency physicians (EPs). In addition, this study suggests that PAs have the ability to recognize more severely ill children and elicit the input of a supervising physician in those individuals."
Pediatric Emergency Care"...Practices that work closely with their PAs and ensured that PAs were able to work to the full extent of their education and experience ranked the highest [among the best primary care practices in the country]"
Peterson Center on Healthcare"A first-of-its-kind study found that PAs and nurse practitioners (NPs) delivered similar quality of care, services, and referrals in community health centers as physicians."
Medical Care
"...diabetes management by NPs and PAs was comparable to management by physicians. The Veterans Health Administration model for roles of NPs and PAs may be broadly useful to help meet the demand for primary care providers in the U.S."
