  Physician Associates (PAs) are healthcare professionals who work under the supervision of physicians to provide medical care to patients.
  They are dependent (supervised) clinicians trained to work in medicine and deliver medical care to patients.
  They are skilled to take medical histories, perform physical examinations, diagnose illnesses, develop treatment plans, and suggest medications.
  PAs play a crucial role in bridging gaps in healthcare delivery, via continuity of care, particularly in primary care and underserved areas.
