The fundamental tenet of the physician assistant (PA) profession is that PAs practice as members of physician-directed teams. The American Academy of Physician Assistants defines the PA as "a health professional licensed to practice medicine with physician supervision." In clinical practice, the PA complements the practice style of the supervising physician or physicians. The physician-physician assistant relationship defines the PA role in health care. The laws and regulations governing PA practice reflect, in great measure the extraordinary level of trust and confidence between the supervising physician and the PA. PAs provide medical care to patients within the scope of practice of the supervising physician by effectively collecting essential medical data (through medical history-taking, physical examination, and ordering and interpreting necessary ancillary diagnostic testing); diagnosing patients by assessing the available patient, medical data; and providing patients with specific therapies, including the prescribing of medications, counceling, and patient education appropriate to the patients' conditions.
