Description: "The good news is that the Physician Assistant profession continues to thrive and grow. In fact, so many people are interested in the profession, competition to get into PA school may be even stiffer than medical school. Still, it is easy to see why many are choosing the PA profession. Medical students are flooded with $200,000 to $300,000 worth of debt after graduation and Medicare and insurance reimbursement rates are projected to decrease and threaten physician's income. In contrast, PA salaries continue to rise and opportunities are more prevalent than ever before. PAs continue to be "cost effective" for their employers"--Provided by publisher.
