National Physician Assistant Day was on Wednesday November 27, 2019. National Physician Assistant Day, celebrated the ongoing positive impacts being made Manitoba’s Physician Assistants and Clinical Assistants in their work with other health professionals. Though Physician Assistants were introduced in Canada through the Canadian Armed Forces approximately 40 years ago, they only began practicing within the Manitoba health-care system over the last two decades. As we all know our complement of CAs/PAs have integral roles in all aspects of the Program.
