A pilot study of PAs in leadership: Exploring pathways, barriers, and support systems.
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine pathways, barriers, and support systems experienced by physician associates (PAs) in leadership.
Methods: Focus group interviews were conducted with 20 PA leaders. Thematic evaluation revealed inductive themes. Moderate interrater agreement was achieved.
Results: Most participants were female, White, and non-Hispanic, with 13 to 23 years of experience as a PA. Participants obtained leadership positions via training, dedication to service, and networking. Participants were motivated to pursue leadership roles by issues related to compensation, time, and autonomy. Biased perception of PA roles and corporate and legal issues were the most common barriers to achieving leadership positions. Participants recommended that PAs interested in leadership self-promote and that they embrace both altruism and a growth mindset.
Conclusion: PA leaders achieved leadership positions via dedication, networking, and training. Corporate, legal, and perceptual barriers exist. Employers and PA organizations can support PA leaders with training, compensation, protected time, and autonomy. Celebration of the value of PA leadership is needed.
