Physician Assistants work under the supervision of a Physician or a surgeon. They work in all areas of medicine, including primary care and family medicine, emergency medicine, and psychiatry.

The work of physician assistants depends in large part on their specialty and what their supervising physician needs them to do. For example, a physician assistant working in surgery may close incisions and provide care before and after the operation. A physician assistant working in pediatrics may examine a child and give routine vaccinations.

 In rural and medically underserved areas, physician assistants may be the primary care providers at clinics where a physician is present only 1 or 2 days per week. In these locations, physician assistants confer with the physician and other healthcare workers as needed and as required by law. Some make house calls or visit nursing homes to treat patients, reporting back to the physician afterward.

This way the Physician assistant fills in the gap between a qualified medical practitioner and the community and helps in providing quality medical care to people in remote areas and villages.
