1Sarah Reeve, PA-R, BSc, PgDip (PA Studies), is a physician associate, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Sheffield, United Kingdom.
Introduction:
In the United Kingdom there are 37 physician associate (PA) training programs with limited knowledge of the educators involved, their training, and specific needs.
Methods:
An online questionnaire was sent to PA educators in all UK training programs requesting information on academic title and responsibilities, clinical and nonclinical background, education and qualifications before becoming a PA educator, formal and informal training received in the role, and insights into career progression.
Results:
The questionnaire highlighted 5 specific areas that should be specific recommendations for UK training programs to support PA educators, alongside existing guidance. These centered on academic and leadership development, clinical engagement, student support, and pedagogical research.
Discussion:
We believe that implementing these recommendations across training programs will improve the opportunities for all those delivering PA education and consequently improve the offering to the students undertaking PA studies programmes.
