Area of Science:

  • Medical Professionalism
  • Healthcare Access
  • Physician Associate Health

Background:

  • Physician associates (PAs) are integral to healthcare delivery.
  • Provider health programs (PHPs) support clinician well-being and professional practice.
  • Assessing the availability and accessibility of PA-specific PHPs is crucial for supporting this growing profession.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the availability of PHPs designed for physician associates (PAs).
  • To determine the accessibility of information regarding these PHPs through state licensing boards and PA constituent organizations.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive website audit was conducted for state licensing boards and PA constituent organizations across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
  • Data collection occurred between October and November 2022, focusing on the presence and clarity of PHP information.

Main Results:

  • Provider health programs (PHPs) are available for physician associates (PAs) in every state except Massachusetts.
  • Information on PHPs was listed on only 45.1% of state licensing board websites and a mere 17.6% of state PA constituent organization websites.

Conclusions:

  • Physician associate (PA) health programs are broadly available, indicating a commitment to supporting PA well-being.
  • Significant gaps exist in the dissemination of information about available PHPs, hindering accessibility for PAs seeking support.
