ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the racial and ethnic diversity of physician associate/assistant (PA) graduating cohorts during the profession's transition from a standard undergraduate degree to an entry-level master's degree. METHODS: Using all existing program reports from the Physician Assistant Education Association (1985-2019), we explored potential associations between changes in tuition, degree types offered, and racial/ethnic makeup of graduating cohorts. RESULTS: We observed a strong negative association between Black students and graduates versus increasing tuition and the rise of master's level programs. CONCLUSIONS: More equitable opportunities for joining the PA profession may be needed.
