Physician Associates’ (PA) involvement in healthcare policy is critical to the trajectory of the profession. Leadership can take many forms from supervising a team within a practice, leading committees, working in an administrative role for a hospital or practice, or advocating in policy decisions. Whether the policies are at a state level, such as with Optimal Team Practice legislation, or at a national level on issues such as the Affordable Care Act, Medicare/Medicaid decisions, PA involvement in those discussions is crucial to the profession. Students will learn about challenges such as access, cost, and quality and understand their impact on policy formation.
