Educating physician assistants: the past ten years.
During the past ten years of PA education, new methods of instruction have been introduced and tested, and curricula have been expanded. Clinical experience is being provided in a widening range of medical settings. Greater emphasis has been placed on standardization and accreditation of instruction. Most PA programs are now sponsored by four-year colleges, with instruction leading to a bachelor's degree.
