Working in the health profession can be a very risky business. A doctor should be ready for lawsuits from relatives of deceased loved ones. And lawsuits can be very expensive. That's why doctors often buy insurance against lawsuits. But the cost of insurance is becoming prohibitive for doctors. Imagine having to study for years and years and then being faced with such a problem.

None of these problems are faced by physicians assistants. They can work after just a short period of time in school and they are not as subject to lawsuits as doctors are. And the money isn't too bad either. You can enjoy a comfortable lifestyle working as a physicians assistant.

Physicians assistants can study for at least 2 years plus they have to have some college units earned. They are also required to pass a national test before they are qualified to work as medical assistants. They are required to have a license to work as physicians assistants.

More and more hospitals are trying to lower their operating expenses so they are hiring more physicians assistants instead of nurses and doctors. They can do most of the work in the hospital anyway. The doctors do the diagnoses but other tasks can be easily performed by medical assistants like making sure that the IV fluid is working fine. This means that there will be a good job prospect for those taking medical assistants courses.

Physicians assistants are basically medical practitioners. They just work under the wing of a physician or a surgeon. But they do medical works that doctors and nurses do. And as experience grows, they can become very good at what they do. Enrolling in a physicians assistants course can be a wise move.

You not only get a skill that is in demand but you also get the opportunity to help those who are in need.
