What does PAC stand for after a doctors name?
The C stands for certified. However, PA's are not actually doctors. They are Physicians Assistants. No need for concern though. It's been my experience that PA's are not doctors only in a literal sense. One of the main differences between PA education and physician education is not the core content of the curriculum, but the amount of time spent in formal education. In addition to time in school, physicians are required to do an internship, and the majority also complete a residency in a specialty following that. PA's do not have to undertake an internship or residency.
How do you specialize in equine medicine after vet school?
Once you graduate with your veterinary medicine degree, you would go into an internship focusing on equine medicine or equine surgery (or split between both). After completing the one year internship, you would then apply for a three year residency in equine medicine or equine surgery (you do have to pick one). Once you complete your residency, you then sit for the board certification exam. If you pass, you become a board-certified equine veterinarian.

What is the difference between an attending physician and an admitting physician.?
Residency is a stage of graduate medical training. A resident physician or resident (also called a house officer / senior house officer in the United Kingdom and several Commonwealth countries) is a person who has received a medical degree (MD, DO, MBBS, MBChB) and who practices medicine under the supervision of fully licensed physicians, usually in a hospital or clinic. In the United States, an attending physician (also known as an attending, or staff physician) is a physician who has completed residency and practices medicine in a clinic or hospital, in the specialty learned during residency. An attending physician can supervise fellows, residents and medical students. Attending physicians may also have an academic title at an affiliated university such as "professor"
What is the difference between a physician and a physician assistant?
A physician attends medical school for 4 years to receive a DO or MD degree. PAs usually attend a 2 or 3 year physician assistant program which results in a master's degree. After graduation, physicians are required to complete a residency in their chosen specialty before they can practice. A residency is not required for PAs. PAs are also not tied down to one specialty and can easily switch without any further formal training. Physicians can practice independently and can open their own practice--while PAs cannot. PAs work under a supervising physician and can only perform duties within the scope of that physician's practice. Both physicians and physician assistants can perform physical exams, order and interpret tests, diagnose and treat illnesses, and prescribe medication (in most states).
