Physician assistant (PA) educational programs were created in the 1960s to prepare a new type of health care practitioner. Physician assistant programs began as experiments in medical education, and later, they proved to be highly successful in preparing capable, flexible, and productive clinicians. The growth of PA educational programs in US medical education-stimulated by grants, public policy, and anticipated shortages of providers-has gone through 3 distinct phases. At present, such programs are in the midst of the third growth spurt that is expected to continue beyond 2020, as a large number of colleges and universities seek to sponsor PA programs and attain accreditation status. Characteristics of these new programs are described, and the implications of the current expansion of PA education are examined.
医师助理（PA）教育项目创建于20世纪60年代，旨在培养一种新型医疗从业者。医师助理项目最初是医学教育领域的实验，后来证明在培养有能力、灵活且高效的临床医生方面非常成功。在美国医学教育中，受资助、公共政策以及预期的医疗服务提供者短缺的刺激，PA教育项目的发展经历了3个不同阶段。目前，此类项目正处于第三次增长热潮之中，预计这一热潮将持续至2020年以后，因为大量高校都在寻求赞助PA项目并获得认证资格。本文描述了这些新项目的特点，并探讨了当前PA教育扩张的影响。
