List of Physician Assistant salaries by state

What is a Physician Assistant?

The role of the physician assistant is to practice medicine under the direction and supervision of a licensed physician.

The first PAs began training in 1967 at Duke University in North Carolina.

Working interdependently with physicians, PAs provide diagnostic and therapeutic patient care in virtually all medical specialties and settings.

With the strong emphasis on clinically-based training and the need to prepare students to begin patient care immediately following graduation, medical schools are uniquely qualified to train physician assistants.

The program at Tufts University is based in the long-established Tufts University School of Medicine.

While our PA students come from many backgrounds, they share a commitment to medicine and the PA profession.

Their strong academic background has helped them prepare for the fast-paced curriculum of PA school.
