Physician Assistant Collaborative Roles Roderick S. Hooker, PhD, PA October 2009 Department of Veterans Affairs Dallas, Texas

Physician Assistants: A Workforce Policy Success? Over 4 decades observation: the PA concept has been shown to be a workforce policy success because…. Patients acceptance; 66% of citizens recognize the PA role and 1/3 have been treated by a PA High levels of job satisfaction: –salary, –retention, –Work environment PAs complement physician practices and do not threaten physician roles/authority Global movement: the Netherlands, Canada, England, Australia, South Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa PA clinical mobility: across medical specialties and settings

PA Specialization PAs have been shown to emulate the practice patterns of physicians The current job demand for PAs is mainly from physicians in specialties and hospitals Lifestyle plays a role in specialty selection

Specialty Change: A Unique Feature Among the Health Professions Virtually all doctors are postgraduate trained for a specialty (and remain in that specialty) NPs and other APNs are specialty trained PAs are capable of changing specialties (jobs) over the course of their working careers

Clinical Flexibility The capability of PAs to change specialties over the course of their career. This capability is based on the premise that PAs work closely with their employing physician and that the practice content of the PA is closely linked to the employing physician. This may be a desirable aspect of the PA profession for recruits and members. Provides extensive opportunities for lateral mobility and professional growth. Permits PAs to fill emerging niches in the medical workforce.

Workforce Implications PAs appear to be responding to medical marketplace demands. PAs appear to be remarkably versatile clinicians capable of practicing in a wide range of medical settings and specialties PAs likely change specialty areas in part due to evolving medical marketplace demands (the availability of jobs) as well as career and lifestyle factors (personal considerations)

Number of PAs in the Workforce per Million Residents for the Highest and Lowest States, 2008 Source: Department of Labor Statistics: 2009

Summary PAs will remain in high demand for the foreseeable future: –Population growth –Aging population –Doctor shortages –Technology –Other PAs will be drivers of improved care and standards of care Specialization of PAs will be in tension with the primary care basic education model –Reductionism leans towards a specialist model –Medical Home advocates will advocate for primary care models PA legislation will continue to improve Women will dominate the PA profession Issues about physician dependency will arise from time to time The PA model will undergo some changes internationally Evidence based medicine will drive PA utilization

Canada: Facing its future “New models of care and new technologies will require specific training for rural settings. International experience must be used to mutual benefit in developing services of appropriate standard, which comply with local needs.” D Godden Director, Centre for Rural Health, Inverness
