The purpose of this study was to determine which factors had the greatest influence on physician assistant (PA) interviewees' decision to choose a PA program to attend. The information in this article may assist PA programs in making their program more attractive to potential applicants and also may help applicants identify programs that will best fit their needs.
Applicants who interviewed with a PA program were asked to rate 33 different influential factors when choosing a program to attend.
Respondents most highly endorsed quality of faculty and staff, first-time Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination pass rates, and morale of faculty and staff. Results varied by demographics, including marital status, age, and sex of respondent. Results also varied from pre-PA students.
Although there are numerous factors involved in program selection, PA programs may want to focus on the quality and morale of their faculty and staff to help improve the likelihood of attracting and retaining the highest quality applicants.
本研究的目的是确定哪些因素对医师助理（PA）面试者选择就读PA项目的决定影响最大。本文中的信息可能有助于PA项目使其项目对潜在申请者更具吸引力，也可能帮助申请者识别最符合其需求的项目。
接受PA项目面试的申请者被要求对选择就读项目时的33个不同影响因素进行评分。
受访者对教职员工质量、首次医师助理国家认证考试通过率以及教职员工士气的认可度最高。结果因人口统计学因素而异，包括受访者的婚姻状况、年龄和性别。结果也与PA预科学生不同。
尽管项目选择涉及众多因素，但PA项目可能希望关注其教职员工的质量和士气，以帮助提高吸引和留住最优秀申请者的可能性。
