About Physician Assistant Colleges:
A physician assistant receives training that closely parallels that of a fully licensed physician and works under the direct supervision of a physician. The PA has considerable autonomy in the daily practice of medicine---writing prescriptions, ordering and interpreting clinical tests, conducting physical exams, and sometimes assisting in surgery. In addition to completing a rigorous classroom curriculum in medicine, the PA must pass a national certification exam given under auspices of the National Board of Medical Examiners.
