National Physician Assistant Week
October 6-12
Physician assistants are medical professionals with thousands of hours of training. Their skills enable them to diagnose illnesses, prescribe medications, and perform many medical tasks.
PAs work closely with doctors and other healthcare providers. They can prescribe and administer medication, acting on behalf of their supervising physician. PAs can even perform surgical procedures that use local anesthesia without the supervision of the physician.
Established in 1968 as the American Association of Physician Assistants, the American Academy of Physician Assistants was instrumental in the development of nationwide standards and PA certification. Today, they promote the profession and lobby for benefits for its members. Its first members were graduates of Duke University’s Physician Assistant program, the first in the country. Today, there are over 140,000 PAs practicing in the U.S., making 400 million patient interactions each year.
Radiology Associates employs an incredible team of 10 PAs, and they are instrumental in the success of our practice. Our well-respected team members are:
Morgan Braud, PA-C

Radiology Associates will be celebrating our Team of PAs during National Physician Assistant Week!
