Abstract

An estimated 30% of members of the American College of Mohs Surgery (ACMS) are using physician assistants (PAs). In Mohs surgery, the surgeon and the pathologist are the same person, so understanding which tasks are being delegated to PAs working in Mohs surgery is important. Our survey explores the number of PAs working with Mohs surgeons and the tasks delegated to PAs in this specialty.
