Abstract
The limitation placed by the Accreditation Commission on Graduate Medical Education on physician resident work hours in 2004 resulted in various strategies on the part of graduate medical education (GME) programs to adjust to the loss of this traditional source of hospital labor. One approach has been the use of physician assistants (PAs) as hospitalists and inpatient providers. Employment of PAs in inpatient hospital settings increased from 2000 to 2006, perhaps partly as a result of resident work hour restrictions. This medical workforce shift requires further documentation and evaluation.
