Movement of PAs into Canadian health care still going strong

The ongoing integration of physician assistants (PAs) into the Canadian health care system continues, with roughly 300 PAs now employed across the country. Given the continuing growth and evolution within the relatively new profession, the CMA and Canadian Association of Physician Assistants (CAPA) have updated and revised their joint Physician Assistant Toolkit. The resource was first published in 2010 to provide information for physicians who were considering employing PAs in their practices or on health care teams. The updates include information on legislation and regulation, education and certification, liability issues, and funding and employment opportunities. Read more and access the Toolkit here.
