Abstract
"What is a physician associate anyway? Physician associates are healthcare professionals who are trained as medical generalists. The role was first introduced in the United Kingdom in 2003, with the first UK physician associates graduating in 2007. “Our main role is to support the medical team and redistribute the workload to improve team flexibility, skill mix, and patient care,” says Watkins, continuing, “we enable the workload to be shared appropriately within the team and help to ensure that healthcare professionals are involved in relevant tasks related to their clinical competency and experience.”"
