More people are coming into contact with physician assistants as they access the healthcare system and with good reason. With a continued shortage of physicians to deliver primary care, clinics, hospitals and employers are looking for ways to fill the gap. The Bureau of Labor statistics expects a 30% growth in career opportunities for physician assistants by 2020. Many of these jobs will be found in less traditional settings like prisons, universities, rural clinics and even telemedicine.
