What is a PA (defined by The Texas Academy of PAs)? correct answers Physician assistants are
health care professionals licensed to practice medicine with physician supervision.
PAs employed by the federal government are credentialed to practice.
PAs conduct physical exams, diagnose and treat illnesses, order and interpret tests, counsel on
preventive health care, assist in surgery, and in virtually all states can write prescriptions. Within
the physician-PA relationship, physician assistants exercise autonomy in medical decision
making and provide a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic services.
A PA's practice may also include education, research, and administrative services.
PAs are trained in intensive education programs accredited by the Accreditation Review
Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA).
PAs are educated in the medical model designed to complement physician training.
Upon graduation, physician assistants take a national certification examination developed by the
National Commission on Certification of PAs in conjunction with the National Board of Medical
Examiners.
To maintain their national certification, PAs must log 100 hours of continuing medical education
every two years and sit for a recertification every six years. Graduation from an accredited
physician assistant program and passage of the national certifying exam are required for state
licensure.
