Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Education
  • Medical Professional Development
  • Physician Associate Studies

Background:

  • The discussion surrounding a doctoral degree for physician associates (PAs) is ongoing.
  • Professional organizations like the PA Education Association (PAEA) and American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA) have initiated research into this matter.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore stakeholder perspectives on the entry-level PA doctorate.
  • To analyze the implications of transitioning to a doctoral degree for the PA profession.

Main Methods:

  • Review of evidence and stakeholder perceptions regarding the PA doctoral degree.
  • Analysis of lessons learned from other healthcare professions that adopted clinical doctorates.

Main Results:

  • Stakeholder perceptions of benefits and risks vary significantly.
  • A majority of practicing PAs and PA students favor a master's degree as sufficient for clinical practice.
  • Experience from other professions offers limited applicability as a model for PA doctoral education.

Conclusions:

  • The PA profession must proactively lead the discourse on doctoral education to establish a clear direction.
  • Failure to decisively address the doctoral degree question may result in educational standards being dictated by institutions with economic interests.
