GAPA for Physicians

PA and DoctorGeorgia’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.
