I would actually encourage you to check out this video... search "career spotlight: Physician Assistant I think that video does a little better job, but is only the view of a PA in a cosmetic surgery office, but does a good job comparing and giving a bit more realistic info
agreed with kwietman, this video is a little, eh.. well not very good I would say. They CAN diagnose and treat the patient, and they arent ALWAYS supervised, in that the physician is not looking over their shoulder the whole time, because really what would be the point of the PA being there? The PA profession is sweet, and I would encourage people to do much more research if considering the field than this video gives.
Although a valuable resource, a little misleading. The Physician Assistant profession began with Navy Corpsmen, rather than Army Medics; all service branches are now represented. Second, the PA profession is far more comprehensive than the video implies, and is very satisfying from a professional standpoint. Please look up the American Academy of Physician Assistants or the National Commission on the Certification of Physician Assistants for more complete information.
I wonder if those people knows about Xango?
It would help them so much...

Yeah in the real World they are often on their own. They just need to be able to contact a doctor at all times.
This is a pretty lame video.
