Georgia’s Physician Assistants (PAs) are medically trained to provide high quality health care, treat illnesses, plan prevention strategies, and write prescriptions as part of a physician-directed medical team.
The duties a PA performs depend on what is in the scope of the PA’s supervising physician’s practice, and how much training and experience the PA has. The duties delegated to a PA by his or her supervising physician can include:
- Perform physical exams
- Diagnose and treat illnesses
- Order and interpret lab tests
- Suture lacerations
- Assist in surgery
- Provide patient education/counseling
- Make rounds in nursing homes/hospitals
- Prescribe pharmaceuticals

Over 2,000 PAs in Georgia are making quality health care more accessible for patients every day.
