Usually with a pen. Just kidding. Physician assistants (PAs) are licensed by the state medical boards to practice under the supervision of a licensed physician (MD or DO). They write examine patients, order tests, and write prescriptions under the authority of their supervising physician. In some states, PAs are limited in the types of medications they can prescribe, but most medications (aside from some narcotics) are ok for PAs to prescribe.
No, but a psychiatrist can. There has been a good few battles over the subject of allowing them to write prescriptions, but as of right now no.
