Physicians and Clinics |
Welcome to the information page for physicians and clinics, and thank you for taking an interest in Physician Assistants. PAs have always sought a collaborative and dependent relationship with physicians, and UAPA is committed to answering questions you have regarding that relationship.
The American Academy of Physician Assistants can answer many of the questions you have. If you are unable to find a satisfactory answer to your question, or if you have questions pertaining to PA practice in Utah, please contact us directly. At your request, we can visit you in person and outline the many benefits a PA will bring to your practice. We welcome any correspondence.
We are also dedicated to providing you with easy access to well trained, nationally certified clinicians. At no charge to you, we can post a notice on our job posting board. This posting is viewed daily by hundreds of PAs. We make every attempt to keep this posting current, and will maintain contact with you during you search for a PA. Please contact us to post a listing. We believe the more you know about what a PA can do for your practice, the more excited you will be about adding a PA to you staff. For instance, did you know that...
- PAs are health care professionals licensed to diagnose, treat, and prescribe medications.
- On average PA?s cost 30 cents for every dollar generated.
- Utah law does not require the physician to be on-site while the PA sees patients.
- PAs can practice in any sub-specialty.
- Utah law allows the physician / PA team to set individual supervision parameters.
- National surveys show that patient satisfaction with PA and physician services is comparable
- PAs are trained in the medical model
