    This study explores variables predicting success for physician assistant (PA) students and programs. Data from one PA program suggests a method for validating these predictors to improve admissions.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Health Professions

    Background:

    • Physician assistant (PA) education programs seek to identify successful candidates.
    • Predicting student and program success is crucial for effective admissions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss variables that may predict success in physician assistant (PA) education.
    • To illustrate a method for developing evaluation schemas to validate these predictors.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of data from the Hahnemann Physician Assistant Program.
    • Exploration of potential predictor variables for PA students and programs.

    Main Results:

    • Data from a single program suggests a direction for developing evaluation schemas.
    • The analysis highlights the need for broader data to validate predictors.

    Conclusions:

    • A single program's data is insufficient for conclusive validation.
    • A model based on multi-program data is proposed to aid PA admissions in predicting professional success.
