Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted July 22, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 22, 2021 This is the best study to date on comparing PA and physician outcomes. The caveats are these were very experienced PAs, they had taken a course in advanced procedural work, and there was a mix of physician specialists with half being EM. Also it is single site. The study was really well done though. also, finally a reason to read JAAPA https://journals.lww.com/jaapa/Fulltext/2021/07000/Comparing_physicians_and_PAs_as_solo_providers_in.15.aspx?fbclid=IwAR27JWPC8Psh8qvWA4Vqps3S9KnB_iUhIkp6tSpCyoATf_j_LABgvhJefb8 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll speak a lot to trends and how it the care was showing a trend to improvement with physicians and it would have been shown if it was powered right, even though this was a very well powered study. Honestly, I see EMRA and AAEM just using this to highlight how inept non-EM trained physicians are in the ED. “See! Only EM boarded physicians should work in the ED! Non-EM dragged the stats down to the PA level of care!” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PACali Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I would like to see similar study in primary care. I bet the outcome would be similar as well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayPAC Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 What looks like a physician, diagnoses and treats illness like a physician but isn't a physician? BTW... great study! Thanks for sharing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
