Love a medical profile that covers the topic of PAs with respect. The only downside I saw with becoming a PA when I was applying was how negative a lot of the physicians viewed PAs and I was so scared that I would be doomed to being some doctor’s b*tch while getting no credit or respect. I wish doctors understood that people who chose PA did it because that role fit their career and lifestyle goals and to still make a huge difference, not to undermine the importance of physicians. Most of us WANT someone above us. I promise we are not trying to take your spot or pretend to be doctors.

And fortunately, even many physicians. Say to the $40k/year residents, "How's that working class pay going?" Hahaha.

Thank you for making this video, Dr. J!

Yea, I noticed a few inconsistencies in this video but its okay. Yes, on call almost a guarantee, esp. if your working a hospital or surgical setting. I did not want to cause any controversies but there are many grey areas that were covered in this concise video. My best recommendation if considering this field, be sure to do your homework, and ask PA's; as even though PA have and must try to maintain such a broad knowledge of medicine; it can widely vary between each PA depending on their practicing State, scope of practice, years of experience etc... Some PA will never go into surgery post grad. Therefore, their surgery background was limited (ended) after rotations were completed. For example, depending on how much surgery background one has under their belt; PA can play a big role in the surgical aspect. He made it seem as if PA only do the things listed. However, surgery and PA scope of practice is a massive grey area. A lot also varies in the State (USA) a PA practices, scope of practice, physicians expectations, experience etc... Also, 2-2.5 years of school is because its accelerated. Nowadays, most schools have began to adopt this accelerated model into their program. People need to remember that its 3 years worth of school in 2-2.5 years without summer breaks. Meaning, you go all year with very little breaks. Trust me when I say, you do not want to fall behind during this program. Also, PA initially have superficial knowledge over nearly all aspects of medicine, but once they specialize; PA must then gain a deep, extensive, and vast knowledge of that particular specialty. This is where the Lifelong Residency he was referring to in the video. Also, physicians only requires a re-cert board in only the area they practice medicine> However, PA are required to test on all aspects of medicine for re-cert (along with CME hours etc.). This is a big deal. Because if you do not want to maintain extensive knowledge in an area you may not like to learn; it may be better to go that NP or Physician route. Lastly, do not forget about all the exams. In most cases, before a PA can be a licensed/certified PA in their State(USA), PA must also pass a multiple hour board exam covering nearly all aspects of medicine post grad; in addition to that re-cert board exams every 10 years. The re-cert exam is when PA have to retake another similar version the exam they took post grad. This can be difficult because if you specialize i.e.(Orthopedics) for 10 years; and when re-recert comes back around, it may be smart to take a refresher course, as the exam will cover areas of medicine you may not seen in nearly 10 years. There's also multiple hours of continued educational hours one must log in order to maintain board certification and license. Therefore, even though he kindly helps to give everyone a general idea of a particular medical profession, as he did in the video with the PA profession, it is however, hard to cover all those in and outs to any medical profession. Thus, its always recommended to do your homework on the desired profession before dedicating and sacrificing a big chunk of your life to school.

As a PA, we are able and do parts of the surgery besides retracting and suturing. I know many plastic PAs that will do one implant while the doctor does the other.

Take home point is your PA can do and handle as much as they choose to pursue.

Can you do a comparison video about nurse practioners vs physician assistant?

Generally good content and accurate, has a 9-year PA in family practice I just wanted to clarify a couple of points: you mentioned that PA's do not follow patient's longitudinally, this is incorrect, it depends on which specialty as in primary care we absolutely follow patients and we have our own panel. I have some patients who have been exclusively seen by me for the last 8 to 9 years for example. As far as taking call overnight this also is something that often is done by a PA. I have been taking call anytime my clinic is closed for the last 5 to 6 years. Lastly, and this is a important pain point for many PA's and nurse practitioners, the term mid-level is demeaning and has been replaced by the more appropriate advanced practice clinician or APC

Thank you for making this!

I just finished my surgery rotation, and the PAs did a lot more than just retracting and suturing. They were creating tendon grafts and inserting PEG tubes, and they were intimately acquainted with the anatomy and the minutia of every procedure. They also took call! And saw patients on their own in clinic! I'm really not that impressed with this channel when it comes to anything besides medical school.

I would like to add that in my experience in the ER, PA's act completely autonomously with supervising Physicians a phone-call away. But all diagnostics, prescriptions and care plans are decided on by mid-level providers. (This is in a fast track area not the entire Emergency Room). I think it is to be considered that there is more autonomy in some specialties than in others.

For example, depending on how much surgery background one has under their belt; PA can play a big role in the surgical aspect. He made it seem as if PA only do the things listed. However, surgery and PA scope of practice is a massive grey area. A lot also varies in the State (USA) a PA practices, scope of practice, physicians expectations, experience etc... Also, 2-2.5 years of school is because its accelerated; which is were most programs are going. People need to remember that its 3 years worth of school in 2-2.5 years without summer breaks. You go all year. Also, PA initially have superficial knowledge over nearly all aspects of medicine, but once they specialize, PA will need to dive deeper with a extensive vast knowledge of particular specialty. This is where the Lifelong Residency he was referring to in the video. Also, physicians only requires a re-cert board in only the area they practice, where PA are required to test on all aspects of medicine for re-cert (every 10 years post grad). This is a big deal. Because if you do not want to maintain extensive knowledge in an area you may not like to learn; it may be better to go the NP or Physician route. Lastly, do not forget about all the exams. In most cases, before a PA can be a licensed/certified PA in their State(USA), PA must also pass a multiple hour board exam covering nearly all aspects of medicine post grad; followed by re-cert board exams every 10 years. The re-cert exam is when PA have to retake another similar version the exam they took post grad. This can be difficult because if you specialize i.e.(Orthopedics) for 10 years and then re-cert comes back around, it may be smart to take a refresher course as it will cover areas of medicine you have not seen in nearly 10 years. There's also multiple hours of continued education hours one must log in order to maintain board certification and license. In the end, even though he kindly helps to give a general idea of a particular medical profession, as he did in this video with the PA profession; it is however... hard to cover all the in and outs to any medical profession. Thus, it's always recommended to do your homework on a desired profession; before dedicating and sacrificing a big chunk of your life to school.

Depends on specialty + contract!!

Could you do a video talking about neuropsychologist or psychologists in general? I think I’m stuck between becoming a psychologist or physician assistant

Waiting for ep about physical rehab and medicine, thanks so much

I'm not so much worried about cost, as I am blessed enough to have assistance with schooling. I am 41 years old, have an 8 year old and 3 year old, as well as somewhat of an introvert......BUT, that being said, I made it through 3.5 years of school 2016-2019 and am currently a rad-tech. Currently working at an UC clinic that also has occupational medicine. My biggest concerns are these: length of schooling (young kids, only an Associates degree currently), classes such as microbiology, chemistry and pharmacology, and lastly having the nerves to be able to present cases to physicians, professors, etc (yay for being an introvert)....but both PAs at my clinic say that I should go for it. They are very, very supportive. I'm SO TORN on what to do. I have taken statistics, Anatomy and physiology lecture and lab as well. Tested out of biology bc of scoring a 24 on ACT

never thought youd do a PA!!!! nice!!!!!

It’s so hard to decide PA vs doctor vs NP vs CRNA vs anesthesiologist assistant 😩 PA is very appealing but the lack of international opportunity is unfortunate. Becoming a NP seems harder/longer but maybe the slight increase in autonomy is worth it... Doctor is also super nice but school and residency seem so long and intense I wonder if i would regret going the extra mile when being mid level might be just as satisfying or perhaps more satisfying due to starting to work much sooner

wuurks bruh you will get a horrible education as a np, they are seriously dumb. Tbh I’m rotating with a pa student and I’m a med student. They are really bad. Doc is the way to go.

Ima start school in two weeks so I can get started on being a PA I’m a medical assistant at the moment but want to progress and I love my job and helping people .

AA and CRNA! I'm already in residency but still enjoy these videos

Happy PA Week❤️

In South Africa, they're called "Clinical Associates" as far as I'm aware.

There are many different providers within health care, value discussions and various streams and pools of influence help to bridge gaps in care. When we consider the back end connections of how systems work and how truly valuable expertise is, the Value propositions shift some. For instance, PA's are able to help with a lot of collaborative needs... social workers and translational medicine concepts add value to those realities. The concept of finite need or finite resources isn't exactly accurate. The spheres of influence shift as better understandings grow. I was fortunate enough to see some great doctors, nurses, PA's, social workers, on and on.... when the career of caring takes the shape of understanding the larger "cogs"; the conversation brightens. Doctors and the decades of training can never be undercut in estimation, but the needs of connections and positive feedback loops while strengthening patient care... these understandings illuminate a lot. I'm always in awe of providers...

Thanks, this is a very useful information

For clarity and insight, I'm about to graduate PA school in To note: PAs may have a perceived better work-lifestyle, but that'll be based on the specialty you're in; you can transition between specialties or work in two specialties at the same time, and have more flexibility in your career which I find appealing after years in military medicine and research. Surgery...yes you will always just be a first assist in the OR so if you want to do surgery go to medical and do a surgical residency. You may have more autonomy and experiences in various federal agencies vs private sector, but ultimately the role is the same as a PA. For all the pre-med/health students be sure to do your research. You don't want to realize one profession is not for you and drop out...or go through it and hate your job when you start working. Either way you'll still have to pay back any school loans you take out.

If you really wanted to provide good care to patients at the highest level, wouldn't being an MD/DO be the best option? Why as a patient would I want to see a PA over an MD? The wait times could be less and that seems to be the only advantage.

@@billr5842 I guarantee you've probably received excellent equivalent care from a PA or NP and didn't realize it. Having MD/DO doesn't mean they will necessarily provide "good care" any more than a PA/NP. If you want only want to see a physician that's your choice. Many people choose to see a PA over a physician. I've personally preferred to see a PA twice over a physician because they didn't seem to know much about/or just ignorant to my situation. The PA had more experience so opted for that individual and my situation was handled during the first visit. So degree level is one thing, but clinical experience is equally important for any clinician.

Loved the video! Any chances for a vid on Maxillofacial Surgery? Thank you!

Sounds really good!

PAs do take work home, absolutely keep track of patients longitudinally, and definitely participate in overnight call. Many PAs are left unsupervised, especially critical care / IM PAs who work overnight with no supervising physician in house. PAs will run codes, and can preform any procedure a MD can (with permission / experience). The average compensation is actually $115k (AAPA) and rising with 95-100k being a good starting salary. PAs are not just “superficial” (you mainly focused on surgery) - many PAs are designated to be their specialtie’s consulting provider when needed, showing their depth of knowledge in their field of practice outweighs a MD’s knowledge who is practicing in a separate field (despite the education difference). Thank you very much for creating this video! Happy PA week!

Lol, PA's absolutely cannot perform any procedure an MD can. For light, non surgical procedures maybe. But no patient or surgeon in their right minds would let somebody with a masters degree and no additional training to do surgical procedures.
