      Because of shortages in the US primary care workforce in the 1960s, the role of the nurse practitioner and physician assistant emerged.1 The tasks of these individuals are often considered similar, and together they are known as advanced practice providers (APPs).

Physician assistants train for an additional 2 years beyond a Bachelor of Arts or Science degree to earn a physician assistant degree.
