how do physician assistants (PAs) sign their name?

how do physician assistants (PAs) sign their names surrounded by official post compared to doctors?? doctors usually sign it like Harry Truman, PHD right?? so do PA's sign it Harry Truman, PA-C ? You're right, it's Harry Truman PA-C. However, they may hold a PhD degree as very well, in which armour it becomes Harry Truman PhD, PA-C. And also, if you're referring to medical doctors, it's Harry Truman, M.D. -- not PhD. PhD refers to someone next to a doctorate degree, M.D. denotes Medical Doctor.
doctor JR.
NAME,P.A.
Yes, Physician Assistants who own passed their certifying exam can sign their identify Harry Truman, PA-C.
If they have completed training but not passed their certify exam, they can only sign it Harry Truman, PA
If they are students contained by training, they sign it Harry Truman, PA-S (to reflect 'student')
The PA-C process they are "Certified", having passed their exam and can lay claim to the -C after PA.
Of course, they could move about on to further their training and if they were to return with a Masters or a PhD, they could sign it Harry Truman, PhD, MPAS, PA-C (Doctorate, Master is Physician Assistant Studies, and Certified PA)
Doctors in medication have signatures that usually echo what type of Doctor they are.
If they are a Medical Doctor -- Harry Truman, MD
If they are a Doctor of Osteopathy -- Harry Truman, DO
Hope this clears things up for you. Good Luck!
PA-C or RPA-C
yes they sign it PS-C. I work for 9 Doctors and 4 PA's
