Abstract

This study reports on an increasing educational emphasis by physician assistant (PA) programs on didactic and clinical experiences in geriatrics. Of a random sample of physician assistants known to be caring for elderly patients, some physician assistants may see a large number of elderly patients depending on their practice setting. When asked to rate the importance of various topics to a physician assistant's scope of practice with elderly patients, there was exceptional congruence in the relative weights of the items given by educators and practicing physician assistants.
