Pediatric Care
Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA), which is sponsored by the American Medical Association, American Academy of Family Physicians, American College of Surgeons, American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Physicians, Physician Assistant Education Association, and American Academy of Physician Assistants. Accreditation standards are rigorous. Although all accredited PA programs must meet the same educational standards, they have the flexibility to offer a variety of academic degrees.3 More than three-fourths of the programs offer a masterâ€™s degree. However, graduation from an accredited PA education program remains the definitive credential. Regardless of the degree awarded, only graduates of accredited programs are eligible to sit for the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination administered by the independent National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants.

Primary Care
Assistant. They envisioned a medical school-type curriculum, geared toward primary care and focused to provide the appropriate education in an intense and uniquely designed curriculum. The physician assistant profession has retained this commitment to the medical educational model and
Family Practice
"The starting pay for a radiologist coming out of a training program could be $400,000 to $500,000 a year, whereas a trainee coming out of a general medicine program or a family medicine program could be $150,000 a year," he told HealthDay. "I mean, this is just patently absurd."
Electrocardiogram
Depending on practice type, there are other duties a PA can perform. These involve casting a broken limb, suturing a laceration, removing a foreign body and excising a mole or suspicious lesion. I have done all these in my career. PAs are also trained to read/interpret X-rays, EKGs and lab tests.
Immunizations
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Health reform will put insurance cards in the hands of tens of millions of previously uninsured Americans. Many will need physicals, immunizations, preventive screening tests and care for chronic health conditions.

Gynecology
PA education includes classroom instruction in biochemistry, pathology, human anatomy, physiology, microbiology, clinical pharmacology, clinical medicine, geriatric and home health care, disease prevention, and medical ethics. Students obtain supervised clinical training in several areas, including family medicine, internal medicine, surgery, prenatal care and gynecology, geriatrics, emergency medicine, psychiatry, and pediatrics. Sometimes, PA students serve one or more of these rotations under the supervision of a physician who is seeking to hire a PA. The rotations often lead to permanent employment.
Obstetrics
PA education is based on the medical school model, although unlike medical school which lasts four years, PA training is usually 2 to 3 years in duration. It is generalist in approach, consisting of classroom and laboratory instruction in medical and behavioral sciences, such as anatomy, microbiology, pharmacology, pathophysiology, hematology, pathology, clinical medicine, and physical diagnosis, followed by clinical rotations in internal medicine, family medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, oncology, emergency medicine, and geriatric medicine, as well as elective rotations. Unlike physicians, who must complete a minimum of three years of residency after completion of medical schools, PAs are not required to complete such residencies. Despite this, there are residency programs in certain specialties for PAs who choose to continue formal education in such a format.

Internal Medicine
In a "Perspective" article published in the Annals of Internal Medicine in April, Goodson argued that, to avert a primary-care crisis, medical schools must prioritize and support primary-care training, and policymakers have to do something about the nation's lopsided physician reimbursement system, which favors specialists.

Psychiatry

X-Rays

General Surgery
Orthopedics
Many PAs work in primary care specialties, such as general internal medicine, pediatrics, and family medicine. Other specialty areas include general and thoracic surgery, emergency medicine, orthopedics, and geriatrics. PAs specializing in surgery provide preoperative and postoperative care and may work as first or second assistants during major surgery.

Dermatology
Money Magazine, in conjunction with Salary.com, listed the PA profession as the "fifth best job in America" in May of 2006, based both on salary and job prospects, and on an anticipated 10-year job growth of 49.65%. According to the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA), in 2008 the mean total income for physician assistants working at least 32 hours per week was $89,987. Physician assistants in dermatology or surgical subspecialties can earn $100,000-$200,000, with the mean total income for PAs working at least 32 hours per week in cardiovascular/cardiothoracic surgery listed as $110,468 for 2008.
