A physician assistant expert witness such as
Jeff Nicholson is a state licensed and board certified medical healthcare provider who has the necessary qualifications, training and expertise to give an opinion on the medical standards of medical care given by fellow physicians. While it is not absolutely essential that a PA must have formal training, many expert witnesses have attended and completed many seminars which have been conducted by and are for nurse consultants. In many cases, physician's assistant expert witnesses are usually the faculty or the former faculty at the PA training programs. In fact, most physicians who become PA experts never set out to be experts, but got into the field after they were called to testify and provide their opinions on other medical malpractice cases.
Currently, Physician Assistants are medical professionals who have been licensed in all fifty states, who are allowed to provide healthcare under the general direction and supervision of a doctor of medicine. All PA's have to graduate from a program approved and accredited by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physicians Assistants in order to become licensed. After training they will need to pass a comprehensive board examination that is conducted by the NCCPA, or the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants. Once PA's, like Jeff Nicholson, have been licensed, they will have to complete at least 100 hours of continuous medical education every two years and pass the national comprehensive board exam every six years in order to maintain their certification.
