The Physician Assistant provides clinic-based care exclusively within the Pre-Operative & Pre-Procedure Clinic (COTC). The PA will function with Full Autonomy as defined by VHA Directive 1063, appropriate to a non-procedural, non-operative assignment. As such, the PA will be in periodic contact with a collaborating physician, who is available in person, by telephone, or through other suitable means (e.g., telehealth) for consultation regarding patient care activities.
