[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm not in the medical field, but appreciate your question. I don't like the idea of being an "assistant" with all of the formal education and training required to be an PA. I would find the word "assistant" rather insulting as such playing second fiddle to a full fledged "MD". If you played sports, I would liken it to being a "backup" playing second fiddle. No one wants that. Why not give it another name without the word "assistant" in it? [/quote] MD here. You guys are way overthinking this. PAs play vital roles in pretty much all aspects of healthcare and are in demand. Although I will say I haven't seen many in administrative positions but I'm certain many would excel if given the chance. It's probably just a matter of time[/quote]
