Physicians Assistants
Becoming Backbone of Primary Care (WRAL-TV)
Fayetteville, N.C. — There's already a shortage of primary
care physicians in the country. Now with health care reform, the
demand will grow even greater.
More doctors are turning to physician assistants to handle many
of their patients' needs. Rather than the more extensive four-plus
years of medical school, physician assistants train for a little
more than two years in a masters program.
Methodist University in Fayetteville is one of those programs focused
on serving rural communities. Physician assistant students at Methodist
get a taste of all the medical specialties, but the 27-month masters
program stresses experience in primary care.
