A physician assistant is a health care practitioner who practices medicine in collaboration with physicians. They examine patients, prescribe medicine, and order diagnostic tests. In most cases, they work under the supervision of physicians or surgeons, but they can work more independently in some states, rural areas, and inner-city areas, consulting with physicians only when they need help with cases.
On a more personal note, Rhea and her husband enjoy many outdoor activities, managing their growing ranch and spending time with their baby girl. When she is not caring for patients, she can be found in the kitchen whipping up some yummy treats for her friends and family, reading, and crafting. Her favorite professional publication is the Journal of the American Academy of Physician Assistants.
