So only Physician Associates make medical errors is it?... And we are going to define a profession by the actions of a small number of individuals?... This is not about Doctors Vs PAs so I'm not going to link examples of doctor errors. But come on, be mindful of what you post.

It's been an uncomfortable, scary and worrying time for Physician Associates over the last few months.
But, let's not forget this immense achievement. After >20 years of campaigning for regulation we are finally getting it.
Thanks to all those that helped make this happen. 👏🏽
