Description:

This book aims to remain as the definitive book on the physician assistant profession both in the US and overseas. It is the textbook for scholars and students alike to reference and use both in the classroom and in general practice. The scope is broad and encompasses all of the literature that has shaped the PA profession and is also provides in-depth information on areas of scholarly activity such as PA education, PA legislation, and the economics of PA practice. All accredited PA programs are required to teach a course or provide course material on the PA profession itself, and our reviewers believe this to be an ideal book for this material.
