Physician assistant programs are relatively new academic programs that aim to train and prepare PAs as advanced medical providers. Since their inception less than 60 years ago, multiple changes have been made to the curriculum. Additionally, the introduction of technology in the classroom has allowed further variations in how students learn in PA programs. As a new and growing program, limited research has been done on these PA programs regarding motivation and attendance. This paper aims to evaluate aspects of motivation and attendance that have been previously analyzed in other healthcare programs, then propose a study which explores those variables in Boston University’s physician assistant program. Ultimately, this paper will add to data regarding PA programs that examine motivation and attendance in students. This data is important to maximize student satisfaction, learning, and efficiency in a rapidly growing profession.
