Physician Assistants Week

Every year from October 6-12 we take this week to recognize and thank Physician Assistants for all of their efforts.   Physician Assistants play an important part of the medical spectrum.   National PA week is a great way to increase awareness of both the PA profession and the importance of a healthy lifestyle.  PAs perform physical examinations, diagnose and treat illnesses, order and interpret lab tests, perform procedures, assist in surgery, provide patient education and counseling, and make rounds in hospitals and nursing homes.

Physician Assistants, as well as all medical professionals, must maintain their CMEs.  The NCCPA recently announced a new PA certification maintenance process.  Click the link below to see how this maintenance process is outlined.   While this is specific to PA’s, all medical professionals should be checking in regularly with their national accreditation boards for any new or updated standards. 

Aureus Medical would like to again thank all of the dedicated Physician Assistants for their hard-work.
