Abstract: The PA profession is 50 years young. Practicing PAs and current students hail from several generational categories ranging from Builders to Generation Z. This article reviews how different generations may have experienced PA program expansion, professional identity, state licensing, and prescription delegation.

Purpose:This study sought to evaluate the attributes and characteristics of physician mentors, dual-roled physician assistant (PA) leaders, and how this relationship affects PA leaders and the PA leader-physician relationship. Dual-role PA leaders may possess additional formal job titles and duties as well as having direct reports.Method:We surveyed PA leaders at a single large academic medical center and its associated health system. The survey instrument evaluated perceptions, attitudes, and characteristics of the PA leader and influential physician and their relationship.Results:Of the 56 PA leaders surveyed, 34 responded, for a 60.7% response rate. Effective communication was the most prevalent relational characteristic ranked as most important for both PA leaders (30%) and physician mentors (36%). Additional self-identified positive attributes of the team included collaborative mindset, reliability/trustworthiness, work ethic, and delivery of patient care. Influential physician mentors may have a significant effect on PA leader job satisfaction and career advancement.Conclusions:This is a novel study of PA leaders examining perceptions, beliefs, and characteristics of the PA leader-physician relationship. PAs are integral healthcare team members and medical providers. As PAs work closely in physician-led teams, further understanding the PA leader-physician relationship could influence PA and physician professional development, career trajectory, and healthcare team outcomes.
