Todd: OK. What is a physician's assistant? 什么是助理醫(yī)師?
Jessica: Well, normally when you go into a, into the doctor's office, you wouldn't usually get, well you would get your doctor all they do is check, give you check-ups or you know maybe take out stitches or something, not surgery. You just go in and do the little things. So the doctor does not have to do them. 通常我們進(jìn)入醫(yī)生的辦公室，助理醫(yī)師會(huì)給你做身體檢查或是在手術(shù)中縫針，而不是主刀做手術(shù)。助理醫(yī)師只是做小事，主治醫(yī)師不用做的事情。

Jessica: It's a lot of schooling. You have like six years, four or six years of college and you obviously take the, like nursing and other kinds of classes like that and then you do like um, two, two or four years at like a hospital as a.. 這需要長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的學(xué)習(xí)。你必須學(xué)習(xí)6年的時(shí)間，接受4或6年本科教育，很明顯你還需要學(xué)習(xí)護(hù)理和其他課程，在這之后你還要花2到4年的時(shí)間在醫(yī)院……
Todd: Like an assistant, or.. 在醫(yī)院做助理或是……
Jessica: Like, like you're actually doing. 就好像實(shí)際在做助理醫(yī)師一樣。
Todd: Oh, an intern. 哦，實(shí)習(xí)。
Jessica: An intern, yeah! An internship for two or four years at a hospital. 實(shí)習(xí)生，是的!在一家醫(yī)院實(shí)習(xí)2到4年。
Todd: Then, that's it. You finish. 這樣才能完成學(xué)業(yè)。
Jessica: And then you hopefully go on and maybe have your own little doctor's place and open that up or something. 接著你就能繼續(xù)做醫(yī)師，或是以后有可能開家自己的小診所。
Todd: Well, best wishes on becoming a physician's assistant. I'm sure you'll make a good one. 祝你將來能成為一名助理醫(yī)師，一名成功的助理醫(yī)師。
Jessica: Thank you. 謝謝。
