A Physician Assistant is a health professional, who supports a physician or surgeon in carrying out their duties of caring for their patients. The physician assistant’s work involves examining patients, taking their medical history and checking their vitals, before the doctor does a thorough check up. The assistant may also give preliminary treatment, prescribe medicines or educate patients and their caregivers about taking care of their health. Physician assistants can work in a doctor’s clinic, a primary health centre, hospital or a rural/semi-urban healthcare set up.
