Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Cultural Competency
  • Physician Assistant Studies

Background:

  • Physician assistant (PA) education aims to prepare culturally competent healthcare providers.
  • Assessing the development of multicultural sensitivity in PA students is crucial for effective patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate changes in multicultural sensitivity among physician assistant students throughout their master's degree program.
  • To identify specific program components that may influence multicultural sensitivity development.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 19 physician assistant students was assessed using a specially designed instrument.
  • Data were collected at four time points: before, during, and after the 30-month master's program.

Main Results:

  • Students demonstrated a significant increase in multicultural sensitivity by program completion.
  • The most substantial improvements in sensitivity were observed after clerkship rotations involving diverse, low-income patient populations.

Conclusions:

  • Physician assistant master's programs can enhance students' multicultural sensitivity.
  • Integrating diverse clinical experiences, particularly with underserved populations, may be key to fostering cultural competence in future PAs.
