Episode Synopsis

Send us a textIn this episode of Joint Effort PAs, we’re breaking down one of the most common questions we get — what’s the real difference between Physician Assistants (PAs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs)? From education and training paths to scope of practice, autonomy, and how each role fits into different specialties, we’ll clear up the confusion and share our personal takes from working side-by-side with both. Whether you’re a pre-PA or pre-NP student, a patient curious about your provider’s role, or just love a good medical deep dive, this one’s for you.
