What is a PA?

Physician Assistants (PA) are medical providers formally trained in surgical and primary care. PAs graduate from over 100 accredited academic medical model training programs in the United States.

PAs have a close working relationship with physicians and are trained in the medical model to complement a physician’s training. Upon graduation, physician assistants take a national certification examination developed by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants in conjunction with the National Board of Medical Examiners.

In addition, to maintain their national certification, PAs must log 100 hours of continuing medical education every two years and sit for a recertification exam every six years.

PAs have been practicing with Dermatologist for more than 30 years. They deliver high quality care and enjoy excellent patient satisfaction. PAs diagnose and treat acne, psoriasis, skin cancers and other general dermatologic conditions. They are trained in wound closure as well as performing biopsies, cryotherapy and excision.
