Happy PA week!

🧐Wondering how PAs differ from NPs? At the practice level, there are likely more similarities than differences between PAs and NPs. However, there are two key differences:

•PAs are educated in general medicine, which offers a comprehensive view of all aspects of medicine. NPs must choose a “population focus,” e.g., pediatric nurse practitioner or women’s health nurse practitioner.

•PAs are trained to practice medicine using a curriculum modeled on medical school education. NPs are trained in the advanced practice of nursing.

👊PAs are trusted healthcare providers. A 2023 Harris Poll found extremely high satisfaction rates among Americans who have seen a PA or have a family member who has seen a PA. The survey found that 90% view PAs as trusted healthcare providers and 91% believe that PAs are part of the solution to address the shortage of healthcare providers. Happy PA week!
