Russia, FeldsherAbstract
The feldsher is sometimes considered the physician assistant (PA) prototype. The profession was developed in Russia during the 19th century to serve in the military. Many of the retired military feldshers after their service moved to rural locations to take care of the underserved populations. Feldshers were key healthcare personnel at a time of physician scarcity. Feldshers have provided medical services throughout the Russian Empire, later Soviet Union, and now the Russian Federation.
