    Physician assistants are health care professionals licensed to practice medicine under the supervision of a physician (AAPA).

What these codes mean is that patients have the right to make their own choices regarding their treatment and health and as such the physician assistant should respect these choices and abide by them.…

    “A medical assistant may practice in the United States without either certification, but most employers today require at least one certification” (Adams, 2014). By a medical assistant being certified it shows employers that this person has been through a program that has taught them the essentials to perform their job and be successful at that job. By being nationally certified it makes you a more sought after candidate for the position. “A medical assistant with formal training is almost always compensated on a higher scale than one with no training” (Adams, 2014). To become a medical assistant one must first enroll and complete a medical assistant program through a college, university, or technical school.…
