What exactly does a physicians assistant do?..?
-
And what does their training consist of---what is the difference between a nurse practitioner and a PA ?

Answer:
NPs & PAs are quite similar. The biggest difference is in how they "think". NPs are trained in the nursing model, PAs in the medical model. Neither is better, just different. A PA program is 2.5 years after a four year college degree. It's incredible intense time. A family practice PA sees patients in the office. Examine patients, prescribe meds, order tests, interpret the results. A surgical PA does much the same. PLUS assists in the OR and sees hospital patients. I do in hospital consults, put in central lines, etc.
