Physician Assistants (PAs) are medically trained to provide high quality health care, treat illnesses, plan prevention strategies, and write prescriptions. PAs practice medicine as part of a physician-directed medical team, and over 2,000 PAs in Georgia are making health care more accessible every day.

PAs often provide patients with quality medical care faster, and can dedicate more time to answering patients’ questions and educating them on health issues. These medical professionals are helping patients become more satisfied with their health providers than ever. In fact, studies conducted by the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research found patient satisfaction levels with PAs high, ranging in the 90th percentile.

The Georgia Association of Physician Assistants (GAPA) promotes high quality, cost-effective, accessible health care as part of a physician-directed PA/physician team. GAPA assists PAs in professional growth and represents the PA profession in Georgia.
