Abstract
Physician Associates (PAs) are a developing profession in the United Kingdom (UK). The Faculty of Physician Associates recommends the establishment of local preceptorship programmes for PAs in the first year of practice who have successfully passed the PA National Exam. Limited evidence currently exists around the evaluation of such local programmes and the experience of the intern PAs involved.Over the course of a twelve month period, four Intern PAs completed a structured preceptorship comprising clinical supervision, teaching and mentoring. Upon completion of this programme, qualitative data was recorded and analysed to influence the development of the preceptorship in future.In conclusion, a structured preceptorship has been shown to be a useful method of improving clinical confidence and competence whilst offering a supported working environment for newly qualified PAs.
