Physicians Assistant usually work in teams with surgeons, physicians etc. They are the ones who take a look at you before the doctor comes in.

If you’re wondering what do I need to be a physicians assistant all you need is a masters from an approved course, a little bit of exposure to have worked with patients, a license and to be kind considerate and a people person. PA’s usually work in family medicine, hospital emergency rooms, they assist in surgery or even at a small clinic like CHC.

If you’re looking for a fast job right out of high school this would be perfect and there is a class here on campus that can help you get the practice you need during high school;ROP. ROP is taught by Chemistry teacher Ms.Barata during 2nd & 3rd periods. This class goes to the hospital twice a week to help students learn with hands-on activities.
