Physician Assistants

The initials "PA-C" stand for Physician Assistant-Certified. To be certified, they must complete 100 hours of Continuing Education (CEU) courses every two years and take a re-certification exam every six years. Panorama proudly employs 21 PA-Cs to support the patients who seek care at our facilities. They are healthcare professionals who are licensed to practice medicine under a physician's supervision. Their responsibilities include diagnosing and treating injuries, conducting physical examinations, ordering and interpreting tests, assisting in surgery and writing prescriptions. The relationship between the PA-C and the supervising physician is one of mutual trust and respect that ensures our patients complete and personal care. They view each other as part of a medical team, both essential for the patient's well being. At Panorama, we value the contribution our PA-Cs offer to both physicians and patients.
