Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Services Research
  • Military Health

Background:

  • Physician associate (PA) education is crucial for healthcare workforce.
  • Understanding veteran access to PA programs is vital for equity.
  • Previous military experience may influence PA program admissions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if veterans have differential access to PA education.
  • To examine the likelihood of PA program matriculation for veterans versus non-veterans.
  • To analyze trends in veteran matriculation over time and differences for active-duty applicants.

Main Methods:

  • Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed.
  • Data from five Centralized Applicant Services for Physician Assistants (CASPA) cycles (2012-2021) were analyzed.
  • Models controlled for demographic and academic factors, with Bonferroni correction applied.

Main Results:

  • Veteran applicant numbers increased by 38% from 2012 to 2020.
  • The proportion of veterans in the matriculant pool decreased from 4.2% to 3.0% during the study period.
  • Adjusted models indicated higher odds of matriculation for veterans and active-duty applicants, though not statistically significant for active-duty status.

Conclusions:

  • Military veterans and active-duty personnel demonstrate a higher likelihood of matriculation into US PA programs.
  • A declining proportion of veterans in PA programs suggests potential application barriers.
  • PA programs appear to value military experience, but further evaluation of admission barriers is recommended.
