Overview
About this Degree
Working with physicians, physician assistants provide medical services traditionally performed by physicians. These services include taking medical histories, performing physical examinations, ordering and interpreting tests, diagnosing and treating medical conditions, educating and counseling patients, performing minor medical/surgical procedures, and, in most states, prescribing medications. The Physician Assistant's duties are determined by physician supervision as defined by law.
Physician assistants practice in the same settings as physicians, i.e., outpatient facilities, private and public clinics, managed care and other systems, and in rural and urban areas. The focus of the James Madison University Physician Assistant program is primary care medicine.
