    I have wondered for a long time what the pass/fail rate was for Diploma/Certificate, AS,BS.MS PA Schools was. I've heard that there wasn't a big difference.

    If I am being evalauted by a PA with an associates or masters I do not care. I am impressed by skill and professionalism.

    THAT BEING SAID the profession MUST change name to PHYSICIAN ASSOCIATE and establish a MINIMAL MASTERS LEVEL EDUCATION. We will not be included in the future of medicine unless we solidift standards that the public finds acceptable. Whether this be EVIDENCE BASED for good clinical care or not.
