The current pipeline of physician assistant (PA) school applicants reflects the future workforce of the profession, which is why the admissions process with all its components and variables is so important. Many studies have shown that a workforce that represents the patients it cares for leads to improved health outcomes, especially among underrepresented minor-ity populations. Yet, PA programs have made little progress over the past 2 decades in increasing the diversity of matriculants and graduates. As a profession, it is our collective responsibility to intentionally advance diversity, equity, and inclusion, and examining the admissions process would be the most logical place to start. This Presidents Commission paper seeks to address current barriers, perceptions, and misconceptions surrounding PA admissions, especially through the lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The paper reviews some of the barriers that may make it more difficult for URM students to apply and be admitted to PA programs, drawing on previous Presidents Commission papers and other research on various aspects of the pipeline from admissions through graduation. It also addresses current outreach efforts and considers ways to augment those efforts to improve the pipeline to the profession. PA educators need to understand obstacles that applicants may encounter as they prepare for PA school andThe authors declare no conflict of interest.
