Ontario is running a pilot project to see if physician assistants might help alleviate some of the pressures on physicians and nurses within the healthcare system.  A number of the new PAs are working on interprofessional teams.  The Toronto Star recently ran an article on the pluses and minuses of adding this new profession.   Read the article here http://www.thestar.com/living/article/682414

What do you think?  Are we ready to add this new profession?   Is it realistic that other professions are worrying about protecting their scope of practice?  Is there room for everyone to collaborate?
