145. The physician assistant is a title applied to individuals who assume at least a portion of physicians' traditional duties. This paper develops a production function methodology to estimate the potential contribution of physician assistants in the delivery of medical care. This methodology is applied to a paradigm delivery mode, an urban health center. Following upon a discussion of the possibilities for delegation and the efficient assignment of medical tasks to physician assistants, a numerical production function is estimated for physicians and physician assistants working together. When taking on his most productive assignments, it is found, a physician assistant can replace half of a full-time physician
