The Physician Assistant Board (PAB) protects and serves consumers through licensing, education, and objective enforcement of the Physician Assistant laws and regulations. The Board is supported entirely by fees imposed upon the professional community it regulates and received no reimbursement from taxpayers or from the General Fund. Physician Assistants are highly skilled professions who, under the supervision of a physician and surgeon, provide patient services ranging from primary medicine to very specialized surgical care.
Mission: To protect and serve consumers through licensing, education, and objective enforcement of the Physician Assistant laws and regulations.
Vision: To assure that health care needs for all persons are met in a compassionate, competent, and culturally sensitive manner. Physician Assistants can better contribute to this outcome as they are increasingly recognized as quality providers and as their utilization is expanded.
