Impact occurs when two bodies collide, leading to the application of impulsive forces between them. Analyzing impact mechanics involves considering two colliding particles moving along a line known as the line of impact, which passes through their centers and is perpendicular to the contact plane.
When particles with different initial velocities collide, they induce deformation by applying equal and opposite impulses. At the point of maximum deformation, the particles move together with...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Professions Education

Background:

  • National expansion of Physician Assistant (PA) programs has increased demand for experienced PA program directors.
  • A professional development program was created to equip new PA program directors with essential knowledge and skills.
  • This study evaluates the long-term impact of this professional development program on PA program directors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of a professional development program on new Physician Assistant (PA) program directors.
  • To characterize the outcomes of program attendance over time.
  • To compare participant outcomes with baseline and national data.

Main Methods:

  • An electronic survey was distributed to 139 participants from 5 annual cohorts (2011-2015).
  • Quantitative and qualitative data were collected, with thematic analysis applied to qualitative responses.
  • Survey results were compared to registration data and published national characteristics of PA program directors.

Main Results:

  • A 57% response rate (n=75) was achieved for the survey.
  • Positive outcomes included increased program director stability, enhanced educational achievement, and greater involvement in leadership and service.
  • Participants reported career stabilization, peer network development, and increased confidence in their academic roles.

Conclusions:

  • Attendance at the professional development program yielded positive outcomes for PA program directors.
  • These findings align with existing research on similar professional development initiatives.
  • The program appears to foster career stability, peer support, and confidence among new PA program directors.
