Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Higher Education Studies
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Academic entitlement (AE) is a growing concern in higher education.
  • Understanding AE in health professions education is crucial for faculty development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence and characteristics of academic entitlement (AE) among physician assistant (PA) students in the US.
  • To identify specific student demographics and academic factors associated with AE.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional survey design utilizing 2 validated AE surveys.
  • Recruitment of current PA students via email.
  • Analysis of survey data using descriptive statistics and cumulative logistic regression.

Main Results:

  • Overall low levels of AE were reported by 337 PA students.
  • Highest AE related to professor roles; lowest related to student responsibility and grades.
  • Academic struggles, older age, didactic phase, female gender, and non-White identity were associated with higher AE in specific contexts.

Conclusions:

  • While overall AE was low, specific subgroups of PA students exhibited higher levels.
  • Proactive identification of students at risk for AE is essential for timely and effective educational interventions.
  • Addressing AE in PA programs can foster a more conducive learning environment.
