Physician Associate definitely sounds more appropriate.

Every time we say our name to people who w treat for the first time, they hear medical assistant.

As I ahve said before, the name is confusing, misleading as we are the only "assistants" who Dx, Rx and are help to the same standard as the people we assist. Outright crazy.

Very refreshing to not only see a response from someone different but a logical comment published in the official journal of the AAPA. I agree with Steve , Kudos to Mr. Lyons as well as to JAAPA for being true to the needs and desires of PAs in the trenches.%0d%0aBob Blumm
