The many different fields or specializations for a physician assistant vary and salary depends upon which specialization is chosen.

My computer can be either a laptop, desktop, or ipad. If I choose a PC it has to have the following: a 2GHz-Dual Core Processor with 4 GB of RAM.

It will need to have at least a 250GB Hard Drive and a SuperDrive for an Optical Drive as well as a 8GB USB Flash Drive. It would have to have a
