Why don't you think physician assistants are medical professionals? They have a medical degree and are board certified.

They are different from physicians, but they're still medical professionals.

Perhaps because they are not held to the same standards as an MD. PAs are typically employees in a clinic, hospital, or practice, and they work with limited autonomy under the supervision of MDs.

I'm not sure I'd say that PAs are not "professionals" but I would say that they are only in a broader sense of the word.
