Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners
and South Point Family Practice
Physician Assistants (PA’s) and Family Nurse Practitioners
(NP’s) are skilled members of our health care team. They should not be confused with
our nursing staff that assist them and the physician with patients.
A Physician Assistant’s (PA) education is similar to that of a medical
student although shorter in length. PA’s are educated at medical programs located
primary in university schools of medicine. PA’s
that have graduated an accredited program and passed the National Certifying
Examination may use the credential "Physician Assistant-Certified" (PA-C)
A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse who has completed specific
advanced nursing education and
training in the diagnosis and management of medical conditions. All states require
national board certification for nurse practitioners before they are permitted to
practice. After passing this exam they are allowed to use the credential "Board
Certified" (BC)
PA’s and FNP’s are formally trained to provide diagnostic, therapeutic and
preventive health care services, as delegated by a physician. They take medical
histories, examine patients, order and interpret laboratory test and x-rays, make
diagnoses and carry out therapy. They treat minor injuries by suturing and
splinting. They record their own progress notes, and instruct, counsel, and prescribe
medication for patients.
Their education includes classroom instruction in biochemistry, nutrition, human
anatomy, physiology, microbiology, clinical medicine, clinical pharmacology, home health
care, disease prevention and medical ethics.
