The Hospitalist Physician Assistant/Associate in American Medicine.
The growth of physician assistants/associates (PAs) in hospital medicine is due to increased demand and insufficient physician-house staff. We compared the demographics and practice attributes of 4074 PAs in hospital medicine to 111,430 in all other specialties. Hospitalist PAs were younger (median age, 36 vs. 39), female (73.4% vs. 68.9%), resided in urban regions (93.3% vs. 92.4%), and worked in secondary positions (18.7% vs. 15.1%). However, hospitalist PAs indicated a higher burnout rate than all other specialties. The growth of PAs in hospital medicine makes them part of the strategy to meet the demand for specialized service delivery.
