Physician assistant (PA) educators are responsible for preparing the next generation of PAs to be not only healthcare providers but also healthcare leaders. Regardless of whether advanced practice providers choose to pursue formal leadership roles in healthcare, they will undoubtedly be expected to possess and exhibit leadership skills. The PA profession indicates leadership as an important professional competency, yet leadership training is rare in current curricula. The PA community should consider the importance of leadership training for educators as they influence future PAs and the way PA students will affect their future patients and the healthcare systems for which they work. The aim of this article was to bring awareness to the need for leadership skill training in PA education, to review common leadership styles in healthcare, and to offer practical leadership tips to healthcare educators.
医师助理（PA）教育者负责培养下一代 PA，使他们不仅成为医疗保健提供者，而且成为医疗保健领导者。无论高级执业医师是否选择在医疗保健领域担任正式领导职务，他们无疑都需要具备并展现领导能力。PA 专业将领导力视为一项重要的专业能力，但在当前课程中，领导力培训却很少见。PA 社区应该考虑到领导力培训对教育者的重要性，因为他们会影响未来的 PA，以及 PA 学生将如何影响他们未来的患者和他们所工作的医疗保健系统。本文的目的是让人们意识到在 PA 教育中需要领导力技能培训，回顾医疗保健中的常见领导风格，并为医疗保健教育者提供实用的领导技巧。
