Being a Surgical Physician Assistant goes beyond mere technical proficiency — it requires the grace to remain composed when surprises arise, and the empathy to comfort patients amidst their fears. You will have an active role in the OR, but your influence extends to the hallways as you explain diagnoses, guide families, and help patients move forward.
