Dear,

The postgraduate diploma program equips you with the necessary skills and expertise in performing the duties of a physician's assistant. From performing tests and examination on patients under the watchful eyes of a physician, being alongside surgeons etc. while performing surgeries to taking care of patients requiring advanced care, one learns them all in this course. Apart from learning the duties of a physician assistant there will be lessons on pharmacology, anatomy, physiology and clinical practices. There will be practical sessions where you get to practice skills in providing primary treatment, chronic care and emergency room procedures. You will be also learning skills in interviewing patients while taking their medical history. Skills in conducting tests, analyzing test results, diagnosing diseases, taking decisions and determining the right course of treatment are the other skills that you pick up.

Considering that the field of healthcare is growing very rapidly in the country, there's lot of scope for physician assistants to get a suitable job. One gets numerous opportunities in hospitals, nursing homes, healthcare clinics, diagnostic labs, private clinics and other healthcare related institutions. Physician assistants can also find jobs in government and military hospitals. Those who wish to continue their education there are opportunities in the form of professional development courses that enhance the skills and knowledge of physician assistant. Other than that there are MS courses too which one can opt for. A few doctorate programs are available too.

Hope this helps!
