The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that are most important to the pre-physician assistant (PA) student when choosing among two or more PA programs.
Seventy-four pre-PA students completed a survey that assessed the importance of 33 decision factors pertaining to program selection.
The five decision factors with the highest importance score were quality of faculty and staff, quality and availability of clinical rotations, tuition, morale of faculty and staff, and a positive interview experience. Additionally, this study showed that specific decision factors are more important to specific groups of pre-PA students, based on gender, marital status, and age.
Knowing what decision factors are important to pre-PA students may empower PA programs to modify program characteristics to retain more accepted students.
本研究的目的是确定在两个或更多医师助理（PA）项目中进行选择时，对医师助理预科学生最重要的因素。
74名医师助理预科学生完成了一项调查，该调查评估了与项目选择相关的33个决策因素的重要性。
重要性得分最高的五个决策因素是教职员工质量、临床轮转的质量和可获得性、学费、教职员工的士气以及积极的面试体验。此外，本研究表明，基于性别、婚姻状况和年龄，特定的决策因素对特定群体的医师助理预科学生更为重要。
了解哪些决策因素对医师助理预科学生很重要，可能会使医师助理项目有能力修改项目特点，以留住更多被录取的学生。
