A neurosurgery physician assistant works together with a neurosurgeon to treat patients with neurological conditions, which require surgery. A physician assistant in neurosurgery may take medical histories and perform physical exams. They may also review diagnostic tests, such as CT scans, MRI’s and blood work.

Physician assistants may also educate patients on their condition and explain treatment options. During surgery, a PA may assist with procedures, close wounds and help as needed. After the procedure, physician assistants may monitor patients and follow-up as they continue to recover. They commonly check sutures, prescribe medication and write discharge instructions.
