some one mentioned in This forum before tha an IMG could practice as a Physician assistant, but it was to dificult to find a Doctor who would let you work under their licence because of the risk. I work as a Medical assistant and I mentioned this to my medical director and she got interested, so I am trying to find out info. about this.
any one, help.

I dont think IMG/FMG can work as PA.
PA's have their own requirements. You need to go to PA approved programs for 4 yrs and then take PA related exam.
You can confirm it by google search.

thank you san jose.
Alina, the difference is that a PA is a health provider: makes diagnosis and gives treatments under supervision of a MD.
MA just follows orders from Nurses, MDs and PA.
