As hospitals log millions of emergency department visits each year, they are increasingly turning to certified physician assistants to support overburdened emergency medicine teams and improve efficiency. For example, UCSF Fresno has been expanding its team and now has 16 PAs and NPs staffing its ED.

Crowding of the emergency department can often affect health outcomes for patients and even contribute to patient readmissions, creating a vicious cycle for an already troubling crowding problem.
