Best Answer

This varies depending upon the training the individual has achieved. Typically, if the assistant of the medical physician is not a nurse (RN orLPN) then the person might be known as a PA or physicians assistant. If the doctor is being shadowed by a doctor-in-training this person might be called an intern.
