A Physical Assistant' is confused with a nurse practitioner. They perform the same function, their training and specialisation options are vastly different. A Physical Assistant receives general medicine training and is educated in a disease-centred curriculum approach similar to that of a medical student. They can also specialise in a variety of fields after receiving their degree.
Nurse practitioners are trained in advanced nursing roles using a patient-centred education and practice model. Before beginning their graduate programme, they usually choose a primary speciality and work with those specific patients.
