as far as i know medical assistent is altogether different thing.... they are separately educated for years to act as medical personel as assistents or even as fully responsible at certain distant areas where there may be scarcity of physicians, they are paid quite handsome and i will love to do this in place of externships but unfortynately.......

If I may
MA is an assistant to a Nurse
PA is an assistant to a physician and you can prescribe in rural areas.
Hope it helps.

Physician usually requires a BA, which means you go to school for at least four years...
Medical assistants requires a course, which can be a couple of months...
To be honest, duty wise - I am not sure exactly what each can do and can not do...
