Please post your name to the petition here. This name change is long overdue. The word “Assistant” has a negative connotation and can lead to mistrust etc.
Even management at Walmart understands that they should call their salespeople “Associates” – why can’t we make this change happen? As PAs we have proved ourselves over the years. We are trained medical professionals who can diagnose and treat patients, assist in surgeries and write prescriptions – yet because we have the word “Assistant” in our name we are mistaken for Medical Assistants.
