The UNM Physician Assistant Program and Profession

Physician Assistants (PAs) are nationally-certified and state-licensed medical professionals who practice medicine on healthcare teams with physicians and other providers. After graduating from an accredited physician assistant educational program, physician assistants are certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA). Within the physician/PA relationship, physician assistants exercise autonomy in medical decision-making and provide a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic services. The clinical role of physician assistants includes primary and specialty care in medical and surgical practice settings in rural and urban areas. Physician Assistants practice patient-centered care, which may include educational, research and administrative activities.
