The physician assistant (PA) profession began as an experiment in medical education. Initial research on the PA profession was performed primarily by health service researchers and medical educators who sought to measure the impact of the introduction of early PAs into practice. The introduction of PAs, health care providers who shared the practice of medicine with physicians, was a revolutionary step in health workforce policy, and its impact became a relevant topic of investigation. Research has not been a high priority in many PA programs, and the amount of research on PA education has been limited. This article traces periods of activity and contributions in PA educational research over the past 50 years and discusses prospects for the future of research in PA education.
医师助理（PA）职业始于医学教育领域的一项实验。对PA职业的初步研究主要由卫生服务研究人员和医学教育工作者进行，他们试图衡量早期引入PA从事临床工作所产生的影响。PA作为与医生共同从事医疗工作的医疗服务提供者，其引入是卫生人力政策中的一项革命性举措，其影响成为了一个相关的研究课题。在许多PA项目中，研究并非首要任务，并且关于PA教育的研究数量有限。本文追溯了过去50年PA教育研究的活跃时期和贡献，并探讨了PA教育研究的未来前景。
