Question 2

how do physician assistants and general practitioners collaborate?

Accepted Answer

Many ways.: The scope of practice of pas depends on the state and their specialty.  With general practitioners, pas usually work as "extensions" of the physician - and in theory, there should be good oversight of the work done by the pa. The physician should be available to answer questions the pa might have about the clinical case. In some states the pa can work without physician collaboration or backup.

It depends: It depends on what you're seeking. General practitioners can be first-line physicians for entire families, so must keep up with the health needs of all kinds of people.

Not all do obstetrics.  These are points to consider.
