International Physician Assistants (PAs), Physician Associates, and Advanced Care Providers Infographic demonstrating the international development of the physician assistant profession. A graphical comparison of the countries where PAs can work, train, and practice around the globe. Including country-specific title, United States PA practice authority in that country, PA salary, number of physician assistants or physician associate programs, number of practicing PAs, country-specific prescription rights, professional association name, certification exams, certification maintenance requirements and whether or not they observe a national PA day/week (spoiler alert there are only two that do). Enjoy and please share!
Guys this is SO flippin’ cool! What a great infographic by PA Life! I often get asked if PAs are exclusively a US thing and I’ve been able to say “well, actually we’re in Canada and the UK, too!” But NOW I can be like “yeah, we’re all over the world!” It is so refreshing to see other countries seeing the benefits that PAs can have in the health system and seeing programs develop globally! Also SUPER cool that as a US trained PA, many countries would allow me to practice there! :-D
