>Over the last few years, the UK has embraced the roles of non-medically trained physician associates (PA), which in the USA have been a success by relieving medically trained doctors from the more protocolisable jobs, so they can focus on the more difficult.

I've heard that PAs in the UK are essentially the equivalent of junior doctors (what we Americans call residents), except permanently.
