An information session for those interested in becoming physician assistants is being held in Sudbury Feb. 9.
Physician assistants (PAs) are skilled health professionals who support physicians in a range of health-care settings, according to a press release.
They work alongside physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners and other members of the interprofessional health-care team.
The PA Program is a blended online and face-to-face program delivered by the Consortium of PA Education, comprised of the University of Toronto, the Michener Institute for Applied Health Sciences and the Northern Ontario School of Medicine.
Graduates receive a BScPA degree conferred by the University of Toronto.
The information session takes place from 7-9 p.m. in room 107 at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine's Sudbury campus.
Sessions are also being held at the same time at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine's Thunder Bay campus and at the Toronto General Hospital.
