摘要
In the United States, medical care has evolved to be a role shared between doctors and non-physician clinicians physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs). These non-physician clinicians were introduced in 1967 and provide services that overlap with the traditional roles of doctors.(1,2) In the following, I discuss this task transfer and the characteristics of PAs and NPs.
