I practiced for six months there in 2011, in Hangzhou. The country is saturated with physicians, who make scant salaries as it is. The role of assistant doctors, as you mentioned, is actually a stepping stone for individuals to become full-fledged physicians and is not a static profession in and of itself. China also uses "barefoot doctors" in the rural areas, but the education and regulation of these, is not standardized. It will be a very long time before a PA profession is born there. fyrman889https://www.blogger.com/profile/10076830516274315835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132074355128133711.post-10768086806744488402017-02-18T13:33:07.363-06:002017-02-18T13:33:07.363-06:00If I got to school in Hawaii would I still be able...If I got to school in Hawaii would I still be able to work in the U.S ?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00935077928216244752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132074355128133711.post-28914018590450805922017-02-15T10:43:57.467-06:002017-02-15T10:43:57.467-06:00can tell me about PA in pakistancan tell me about PA in pakistanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132074355128133711.post-23882082297448602162017-02-06T01:51:13.170-06:002017-02-06T01:51:13.170-06:00physician assistant should be scrapped. there shou...physician assistant should be scrapped. there should be just doctors and nurses. nurse practitioner too should be scrappedmr nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02864129688457625825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132074355128133711.post-61828579350564185252017-01-17T13:36:21.774-06:002017-01-17T13:36:21.774-06:00I currently live in American and I'm going to ...I currently live in American and I'm going to PA school soon.

I was just wondering if you knew the dif...Hi Paul,<br /><br />I was just wondering if you knew the difference between a Clinical Associate and a Clinical Officer in South Africa. It says "Unlike nurses and physician assistants, a clinical officer is an independent practitioner who is trained in the medical model to practice the full scope of medicine and provides routine care in general medicine or within a medical specialty such as anesthesia and carries out treatment that is outside the nurses' scope. A clinical officer usually oversees a health center or a district hospital and is part of the medical team in bigger hospitals where one may head a department or work under a senior clinical officer or a physician." Is that not like a PA, if not a doctor itself? Just curious as to how that and a Clinical Associate differ. <br /><br />Kind regards,<br />TaylorAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299144497321059792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132074355128133711.post-80488081449538149482016-07-28T21:04:28.837-05:002016-07-28T21:04:28.837-05:00Still have to attend a US accredited PA program an...Still have to attend a US accredited PA program and take the PANCE to work in the US as a PA, unfortunately. <br /><br />http://doseofpa.blogspot.com/2015/02/from-international-student-to-physician.html?showComment=1460350771079#c919169437070622170Paul Gonzaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08848910521570997926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132074355128133711.post-88851293945628831822016-07-27T14:03:09.811-05:002016-07-27T14:03:09.811-05:00Hey Paul!
