Key Differences between Physician and Physician Assistant

KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PHYSICIAN AND PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT DR. RYAN MAJD GORJI, MD

Physician assistants and physicians have different responsibilities and duties when it comes to the patient's health care

Physicians are the ones who are primarily responsible for the patient's care and Physician assistants are supervised by the physician when they are providing care for that physician's patients.

A PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT DOESN'T WORK INDEPENDENTLY EVER

Physician assistants must take a recertification exam every 6 years so that they remain up to date with the changes in the medical world, and stay knowledgeable.

Physician Assistant are always under the care and supervision of a physician to make sure that they don't make mistakes.
