The profession of a physician assistant involves the independent performance of activities in various clinical areas, delegated and supervised by a doctor. As a physician assistant, you support the doctor in making diagnoses and carrying out therapeutic procedures. During your studies, you will acquire application- and action-oriented medical and scientific knowledge and will be qualified to act as a doctor, without, however, being responsible for practising medicine yourself. The physician assistant represents an interface between the doctor and the medical staff. The current areas of employment and activitiy for physician assistants include most internal medicine and surgical disciplines in clinical facilities. Whether in trauma surgery, orthopaedics, emergency admissions, functional diagnostics, neurology, geriatrics, gastroenterology, cardiac, general and visceral surgery, transplant medicine or wound and vascular medicine. In outpatient care, especially in rural areas, physician assistants in private practices or medical centres also take over delegable, medical patient care. Other fields of application are organisational management tasks in medical care, health promotion, rehabilitation and prevention.
