How do physician assistants (PAs) sign their names?

  • how do physician assistants (PAs) sign their names in official letters compared to doctors?? doctors usually sign it like Harry Truman, PHD right?? so do PA's sign it Harry Truman, PA-C ???

  • Answer:

    You're right, it's Harry Truman PA-C. However, they may have a PhD degree as well, in which case it becomes Harry Truman PhD, PA-C. And also, if you're referring to medical doctors, it's Harry Truman, M.D. -- not PhD. PhD refers to someone with a doctorate degree, M.D. denotes Medical Doctor.

Yes, Physician Assistants who have passed their certifying exam can sign their name Harry Truman, PA-C. If they have completed training but not passed their certifying exam, they can only sign it Harry Truman, PA If they are students in training, they sign it Harry Truman, PA-S (to reflect 'student') The PA-C means they are "Certified", having passed their exam and can lay claim to the -C after PA. Of course, they could go on to further their training and if they were to get a Masters or a PhD, they could sign it Harry Truman, PhD, MPAS, PA-C (Doctorate, Master is Physician Assistant Studies, and Certified PA) Doctors in medicine have signatures that usually reflect what type of Doctor they are. If they are a Medical Doctor -- Harry Truman, MD If they are a Doctor of Osteopathy -- Harry Truman, DO Hope this clears things up for you. Good Luck!
