Goals of the Physician Assistant Discourse Community

      Although the discourse community of physician assistants is broad and varied, it still complies with Swales' definition of a discourse community. Like all true discourse communities, the discourse community of physician assistants has clearly defined goals. One of the main goals of physician assistants is to communicate effectively with patients, patients' families, attending physicians, and other medical practitioners. This goal of communication is expressed in multiple web texts utilized by the physician assistant discourse community.
