As a physician assistant, Tetzlaff assists with patient care for urological conditions. He earned a bachelor’s degree with honors in health care studies from Ashford University and a master’s in physician assistant studies from Chatham University. “I was interested in being a physician assistant because we are able to spend time developing patient relationships and help to increase access to care,” Tetzlaff said.
