Resources for PA Employers
Mississippi Christian University’s Physician Assistant Program works with healthcare organizations, physicians, and physician assistants throughout Mississippi and the surrounding region. The resources below can help practices interested in hiring PAs or learning more about PA practice in Mississippi.
Hiring a Physician Assistant
Hiring a physician assistant can expand patient access, improve continuity of care, and strengthen the efficiency of a healthcare team. PAs are trained as flexible, collaborative medical professionals who can evaluate patients, diagnose and treat illness, prescribe medications, and provide preventive care across a wide range of clinical settings. Practices considering adding a PA should review their staffing needs, patient population, scope of services, and applicable state requirements to determine how a PA can best support their team.
For additional professional and hiring resources please visit AAPA Hiring Resources, Mississippi Academy of Physician Assistants, and NCCPA.
