Objective: This study sought to determine the role of physician associates/assistants (PAs) in ophthalmology, the balance between barriers and facilitators in training, and optimal training for PAs in ophthalmology.
Methods: In this explanatory qualitative case study, 17 of the 94 PAs in ophthalmology in the United States participated in qualitative, semistructured interviews. Qualitative interviews were conducted using a validated interview guide. Interpretational data analysis methods helped in the development of various themes.
Results: Themes suggest that PAs play a unique role in assisting ophthalmologists in surgery, performing procedures autonomously, and evaluating and treating patients autonomously. PAs in ophthalmology reported current training programs as unfavorable, reported satisfaction in their careers, and identified formal postgraduate training programs as optimal training for PAs.
Conclusions: Findings of this study suggest that formal postgraduate training programs can help PAs gain the necessary skills to successfully fulfill their roles in ophthalmology.
