“Significant changes are occurring in healthcare today. Fewer physicians practice in primary care,

while the aging patient population grows, and economics influence staffing decisions. This has

led to a demand for PAs, who are playing a greater role than ever in patient care.”

As fewer MDs practice primary care medicine, the numberofPAsisincreasingtofilltheprimarycareshortage. In 1997, there were more than 2300 graduates of US medical schools who entered family medicine. By 2003, that number had dropped by half. By 2024, the shortfall of general practice physicians is expected to reach 40,000. Conversely, PA employment opportunities are expected to grow 30% by 2020.
