PAs are Coming to Boston! PAs make up one of the most important, active and fastest-growing professions in the nation. With changes in healthcare reform and growing pressure to see increasing numbers of patients, the role of a physician assistant is more vital than ever before. PAs diagnose, screen, treat and refer patients across all clinical and interventional areas of medicine. They conduct physical exams, order and interpret tests, counsel on preventive care, make decisions on follow-up care, assist in surgery and write prescriptions. PAs are on the front lines treating patients every single day and they need the most current information and education to provide exceptional care to the patients they serve.
