摘要
Physician assistants are physician extenders who can perform an invaluable role in dermatologic surgery and optimize physician efficiency. The well-trained physician assistant is a highly effective adjunct to patient evaluation and education and is capable of performing routine time-intensive procedures. When successfully integrated into a dermatologic surgery practice the physician assistant enhances patient care and satisfaction and permits the physician to focus on more complex medical decision-making and technically advanced procedures.
