Scimedico LLC is a New Jersey company that delivers preventive maintenance services spanning areas such as pathology and necropsy. Working with a variety of hospitals, clinical labs, and medical systems, Scimedico LLC emphasizes the highest quality work possible. A Scimedico LLC blog article drew attention to the vital role that physician assistants (PAs) have in delivering ocular and vision care.
As reported in JAAPA, the American Academy of PA journal, in 2019 there were nearly 140,000 PAs across the United States, with approximately one-third working in the areas of emergency medicine, urgent care, and primary care. Of these PAs, 23 percent regularly engaged in eye care that spanned areas such as providing patient information, starting discussions, and fielding questions about ocular health and vision care. PAs employed in non-ophthalmology settings often handle patients with ophthalmologic challenges. These include emergency department visits involving non-urgent and urgent eye care, and diabetic retinopathy screenings. Across most vision and ocular care categories, these PAs were significantly more likely to report a desire to expand skill and ability levels than those not engaged in eye care. The JAAPA survey suggests that providing pathways such as continuing medical education is essential.
