Hello, I am a physician asssistant and I have plan to earn a master/doctorate's degree in Nutrition Science. I have a keen interest in learning about food and nutrition. However, I am concern that as a physician assistant, my graduate degree in nutrition science would not be needed at all. It is possible to intergrate these two fields (physician asisstant & nutrition science) together?

I really want to work as both professions and I would imagine that this could be possible. Also, I remember that dieticians/nutritionists works in the offices of hospitals and physicians just like a physician assistant. The big question is: can you be both or would they not mix well?
