is Assistant physician an good career option ? do the course really Worth in India and abroad.
Hello,
Abroad, generalist medical education prepares PAs to take medical histories, perform physical examinations, order and interpret laboratory tests, diagnose illness, develop and manage treatment plans for their patients, prescribe medications, and assist in surgery.
Duties of Physician Assistants
Physician assistants typically do the following:
Take or review patients' medical histories
- Examine patients
- Order and interpret diagnostic tests, such as x rays or blood tests
- Diagnose a patient's injury or illness
- Give treatment, such as setting broken bones and immunizing patients
- Educate and counsel patients and their families—for example, answering questions about how to care for a child with asthma
- Prescribe medicine
- Assess and record a patient's progress
The average salary for a physician is 5,28,892 per year in India. And for assistance there is less or no scope in India as nurses are in huge demand.
But aboard there is a whole lot of work opportunities.
Moreover, since India emerging as a hub for clinical research and medical tourism, opportunities in physician assistant careers and prospects are immense in the future.
Hope this helps!!!!
