Physician assistants (PA) are medical professionals who diagnose illnesses, develop and manage treatment plans, prescribe medications and often serve as a patient’s principal caregiver.
This is one of the fastest-growing and in-demand professions and is at the forefront of healthcare. Touro, along with The School of Health Sciences of Touro University, is a powerhouse in the education and training of these skilled and dedicated professionals.
The opportunities for licensed PAs are endless. This may include working in primary care, internal medicine, emergency medicine or countless number of medical and surgical specialties, including hospital intensive care, cardiology, pediatrics, cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, orthopedics, and dermatology to name a few. This versatile profession offers tremendous career opportunities in clinical medicine, as well as hospital administration and education.
Detailed requirements can be found on the PA program website.
