Physician Assistants are dependent providers. As with all physician assistants, dermatology PA's are legally and ethically bound to practice only under their supervising physician, never in competition with them.

What is a physician assistant?
Certified physician assistants (PA-C) are medical providers formally trained in primary care and graduating from one of over 100 accredited academic training programs in the U.S. Most Physician Assistant Programs last 24-27 continuous months and use the medical school model. To remain nationally certified Physician Assistants (PAs) must complete 100 hours of Continuing Medical Education (CME) every 2 years and pass a national re-certification exam every 6 years. While over half of all PAs remain in primary care, the rest can be found in every medical and surgical specialty, including dermatology.
Physician assistants have been practicing with dermatologists for 30 years, providing a wide variety of services. PAs diagnose, prescribe medications and provide medical and surgical treatment for a wide variety of pathology. Dermatology PAs possess a very wide variety of general dermatology and surgical skills. Some dermatology PAs specialize in areas such as acne, psoriasis, skin cancer, warts and rashes. Others concentrate in cosmetics: performing sclerotherapy, and operating lasers. Still others specialize in surgery: performing a wide variety of surgical procedures.
