A Physician Assistant is a midlevel provider with a professional license to practice medicine under the supervision of a licensed physician. PAs are nationally certified and hold a state license to practice. PAs must pass national board exams every 10 years. PAs diagnose and treat illnesses, perform physical exams and procedures, prescribe medication and order/interpret lab tests. PAs also provide education and counseling.
