Abstract
During the past ten years of PA education, new methods of instruction have been introduced and tested, and curricula have been expanded. Clinical experience is being provided in a widening range of medical settings. Greater emphasis has been placed on standardization and accreditation of instruction. Most PA programs are now sponsored by four-year colleges, with instruction leading to a bachelor's degree.
