Do Physician Assistants operate under the supervision of a physician?

<p dir="ltr">No, while Physician Assistants collaborate with a supervising physician, this does not imply that they are directly supervised by a physician.</p><p dir="ltr">Most work on their own, under the confines of a state-defined scope of practice. For example, each state has its own set of rules and regulations governing the types of medications that a Physician Assistants may prescribe. Anything not on that list necessitates extra consultation with a physician.</p>
