Frequently asked questions
What does a Physician Assistant do on a daily basis?
Physician Assistants provide direct patient care across various medical settings including hospitals, clinics, and urgent care facilities. Daily responsibilities include conducting physical examinations, reviewing patient medical histories, ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests, prescribing medications, and developing treatment plans under physician supervision. PAs spend significant time documenting patient encounters in electronic health records, counseling patients on health management, and collaborating with physicians and nursing staff to ensure coordinated care.
What certifications and qualifications are required to become a Physician Assistant?
All Physician Assistants must complete a master's degree from an accredited PA program (typically 24-27 months), which includes both classroom and clinical coursework. Candidates must pass the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination (PANCE) to obtain state licensure. Many states also require continuing medical education (CME) hours annually to maintain licensure. Board certification through the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) demonstrates current competency and is often required or preferred by employers.

What medical specialties do Physician Assistants typically work in?
Physician Assistants are versatile healthcare providers who work across numerous specialties including emergency medicine, primary care, surgery, cardiology, orthopedics, psychiatry, dermatology, and oncology. Their scope of practice varies by state and employer, but PAs are increasingly autonomous practitioners who diagnose illness, manage chronic conditions, and perform procedures. ECLARO sources PAs with experience in your specific clinical area, whether you need critical care specialists, surgical support, or primary care providers for underserved populations.
