During the long-lived fee-for-service era, many programs have relied on transactional relationships with individual clinicians, hospitals, community health centers, private practices, and other entities to provide the required clinical experiences for PA learners. These arrangements often involved bargaining a supervised clinical experience in exchange for continuing medical education credit or other incentives included in a clinician's benefits package. However, with the recent transformation of the US health care delivery system into a value-based care model, academic service partnerships have emerged as valuable solutions. Academic service partnerships uniquely integrate health professions learners into health systems by providing more sustainable, results-driven clinical experiences that benefit the program, the clinical training site, and the patients.","PeriodicalId":39231,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physician Assistant Education","volume":" ","pages":"181-185"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141318537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this scoping review was to describe the curriculum and design of existing preceptor training programs for physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and physicians.Methods: This scoping review was developed following the methodologic framework provided by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The literature search included a review of the electronic databases CINAHL and MEDLINE, a Web search, and an examination of article references. The search encompassed empirical, peer-reviewed studies written in English and published between January 1, 2019, and May 1, 2024.Results: Out of 1106 sources identified, 32 met the eligibility criteria, representing 31 preceptor training programs. Eighty-four percent of these programs were based in the United States. Fifty curricular topics were identified and organized into 10 domains. Feedback and teaching were addressed in 97% of the programs. Sixteen programs used an online format, which increased each year compared with other formats. Lectures were the most common teaching method. Program length varied. The majority of participants and article authors were physicians, with only 5 programs including PA participants.Discussion: The curricula and design of preceptor training programs varied but were generally well received by participants. There was limited involvement of PAs in both participation and authorship of preceptor training research. This review underscores the benefits of preceptor training while highlighting the need for increased PA engagement in both training and program development.","PeriodicalId":39231,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physician Assistant Education","volume":" ","pages":"139-148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142898889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this article is to investigate the impact on institutional accreditation and transitioning to an entry level doctoral degree. To understand the potential impact on racial diversity, a subset of programs was further reviewed.Methods: The Standards from the Accreditation Review Commission for PA Education (ARC-PA) and the six Institutional Accreditation commissions that recognize institutions were reviewed. The accreditation outcomes from all ARC-PA accredited programs' institutions were reviewed.Results: The majority of PA programs, including those that graduate the highest diverse populations of PAs, are already recognized as comprehensive or doctoral degree granting institutions. This means they would likely not encounter significant accreditation challenges in an application to transition. Most PA programs meet the requirements for credit hour, length of program, and expectations of 'substantial mastery' of the content in the curriculum to satisfy institutional accreditation requirements at the professional doctoral degree level. The faculty qualifications and level of scholarship required would need to be in compliance with the institutional accreditor's expectations.Discussion: This paper highlighted the general institutional accreditation requirements that would need to be met in order to establish a PA doctoral program. Fortunately, the standards tend to be broad and if the PA program can meet ARC-PA Standards, it is likely the institutional accreditor standards would be satisfied.","PeriodicalId":39231,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physician Assistant Education","volume":" ","pages":"149-154"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142898894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 8 programs reported having both student pathways. There were differences in the primary objectives for formal and informal student mentoring pathways. Both student mentoring pathways were designed to support established learning outcomes, followed by supporting formal PA program goals.Discussion: Less than half of PA programs report having student mentorship pathways.

Emotional intelligence (EI) is characterized by self and social awareness that facilitates effective communication. While EI has been examined in PA students, a theoretical framework for describing why and how EI has beneficial effects has not been articulated. Interpersonal theory can be used to generate hypotheses about EI and expected correlates.Methods: One hundred nine PA students completed questionnaires assessing EI, social behavior (ie, dominance and affiliation), interpersonal efficacy, social support, loneliness, and negative social experiences. Regression analysis was used to determine interpersonal style and efficacy associated with EI. Correlation analyses were used to determine bivariate associations.Results: Emotional intelligence was associated with a friendly interpersonal style and confidence in one's ability to establish relationships. As expected, EI was positively correlated with social support and negatively correlated with loneliness. While in the expected direction, EI was not associated with fewer negative social experiences.Discussion: Emotional intelligence is a potentially valuable personal resource in the lives of PA students, and there may be implications related to EI and its impact on the medical encounter. Results are discussed in terms of curriculum in PA programs and how cultivating EI could be of benefit for students. Additional research is proposed to determine which aspects of EI facilitate an effective medical encounter.","PeriodicalId":39231,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physician Assistant Education","volume":" ","pages":"162-166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12087971/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143060969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite varying educational pathways and healthcare models, the role of PAs in both countries shows remarkable similarities, including shared responsibilities in patient care and clinical practice flexibility. The program, which includes lectures, clinical shadowing, and cultural immersion, fosters a deeper understanding of global healthcare and promotes introspection among participants regarding their own healthcare systems.
