Abstract
ABSTRACT
This article examines the importance of the physician associate/assistant (PA) profession in the healthcare system in Bulgaria. PAs in the country primarily work in emergency medicine and surgery, and are needed in other clinical settings, such as obstetrics and gynecology and psychiatric clinics, that are experiencing challenges because of physician shortages.
