The medically underserved are a population of people who have difficulty accessing healthcare due to factors such as poverty, lack of insurance, or geographic location. This population is often disproportionately affected by chronic diseases and other health problems.

Physician assistants (PAs) are healthcare professionals who are trained to provide primary care services under the supervision of a physician. PAs can play a vital role in providing care to the medically underserved population, as they are able to provide a wide range of services, including:

Preventive care
Diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic diseases
Health education and counseling
Coordination of care between different healthcare providers

PAs are also able to provide care in a variety of settings, including clinics, hospitals, and community health centers. This makes them well-suited to providing care to the medically underserved population, who may have difficulty accessing traditional healthcare settings.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the primary care of the medically underserved, with a focus on the role of the physician assistant. The book covers a wide range of topics, including:

The epidemiology of the medically underserved population
The barriers to accessing healthcare for the medically underserved population
The role of the physician assistant in providing care to the medically underserved population
The challenges and opportunities of providing care to the medically underserved population

This book is a valuable resource for PAs and other healthcare professionals who are interested in providing care to the medically underserved population. The book provides a wealth of information on the epidemiology, barriers to care, and role of the PA in providing care to this population.
