Both physicians and physician assistants work in private physician’s offices, hospitals, and other healthcare settings as part of medical teams involved in the prevention, detection, and treatment of disease as well as the repair of injuries. Medical science programs involve learning the normal structure and function of the human body and how they are altered by disease. To become a doctor or physician, a person must typically study for a minimum of eight years following high school graduation. This usually includes four years of college followed by four years of medical school. Physician Assistant programs are typically completed in six years. This includes four years of college followed by two years in a physician assistant program.
