Physician Assistant Working Conditions
Although PAs usually work in a comfortable, well-lighted environment, those
in surgery often stand for long periods. At times, the job requires a
considerable amount of walking. Schedules vary according to the practice
setting, and often depend on the hours of the supervising physician. The
workweek of hospital-based PAs may include weekends, nights, or early
morning hospital rounds to visit patients. These workers also may be on
call. PAs in clinics usually work a 40-hour week.
