What is a Physician Assistant (PA)?

Physician assistants must graduate from an accredited program, and they must pass the national certification exam to obtain their state licensure.

The common roles and responsibilities for a PA at Lederman Kwartowitz Orthopedics & Sports Medicine include:

• Examine patients
• Diagnose injuries
• Develop treatment plans
• Assist in the operating room
• Provide scheduled follow-up care
• Give injections
• Prescribe medications
• Order and interpret tests such as X-ray, MRI, and CT scans

All of these actions are performed with the supervision and consultation of the attending physician. The physician-PA team can help increase efficiency and optimize patient care. Frequent consultation and review of patient care, by both the physician and the PA, assures that all patients are receiving the best possible care.
