BEST PRACTICES PROJECT

As health care and PA practice have evolved with the world around us, so has the physician-PA relationship. In the 21st century, how do the most successful physician-PA teams make their practice work?

The NCCPA Foundation is looking for successful physician-PA teams to participate in a study of best practices in physician-PA relationships. For the first phase of the study, we will gather information through a combination of telephone interviews, surveys and focus groups about how these teams work together. Ultimately, we expect that this research project will yield a set of best practices that will form the basis of educational materials the Foundation can provide to physicians and PAs – and PA and medical students – through a variety of means.

If you're part of a great team or have seen an exceptional physician-PA team at work, please contact the Foundation and become a part of this important and exciting project.
