DNV GL/NIAHO Accredited facility.
At Eminent Medical Center, we are proud to join the American Academy of Physician’s Assistants (AAPA) and physicians across the country in celebrating National PA Week! Observed each year from October 6th to the 12th, National PA Week is dedicated to honoring the PA profession and all of its contributions to healthcare – in addition to raising awareness and visibility of the profession.
What is a Physician Assistant?
Simply put, Physician Assistants are health professionals who are licensed to practice medicine with physician supervision. Physician Assistants are qualified through graduation from an accredited Physician Assistant educational program and certification by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants.
While working closely with physicians, Physician Assistants exercise autonomy in medical decision-making and provide a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic services. The clinical role of Physician Assistants includes primary and specialty care in medical and surgical practice settings like ours at Eminent Medical Center. Physician Assistant practice is centered on patient care but may also include educational, research and administrative activities.
A commitment to quality patient care is the foundation of the PA profession. By assuming some of the duties traditionally performed by a physician, the PA enables the supervising physician to spend more time with patients who have serious or more complicated problems.
