Frequently Asked Questions

The physician assistant profession was created to meet the growing need for high-quality medical care. PAs are educated and trained using a similar medical approach to physicians, with rigorous academic and clinical programs that prepare them to provide excellent care. At Zellig, our psychiatric PAs have chosen to dedicate their careers to psychiatry, combining strong clinical training with a commitment to their patients. This makes them uniquely equipped to support your mental health with skill and compassion.

Our PAs deliver care directly to patients and are highly trained to do so. At Zellig, they also work in close collaboration with our Johns Hopkins–trained medical director, who provides expert guidance and helps ensure our care meets the highest standards.
