As an OB/GYN physician assistant, your job is to provide care and treatment for a patient who needs obstetrics or gynecology services. In this role, you may conduct an exam, help families decide whether or not to have a baby, or educate patients on topics like prenatal health care and common fertility issues. OB/GYN physician assistants often provide medical care for common problems, request exams that cannot be performed within the clinic, assist surgeons during various procedures, and provide help and support to other clinical staff as necessary. Most PAs in this field work exclusively in either outpatient or inpatient settings, though a few move between these roles as needed.
