In 2007, for example, three bills were passed by the Washington State Legislature to clarify the authority of PAs to execute and certify forms for the Department of Labor and Industries, and to sign and attest to other state-issued documents, including determination of disability parking privileges. In the mid-90s, WSMA also authorized a WAPA liaison to their Board of Trustees. This position is in addition to a designated PA seat in the WSMA Interspecialty Council, composed of representatives of all WSMA specialty organizations.
The first issue is the model of training. Countries with medical education systems based on the United Kingdom model admit students into a 6-year medical program after high school. As a result, the master’s degree model of PA training is nontransferable because the length of PA training would be equivalent to a medical education. A second issue is utilization. Some countries feel that specialty PAs are a solution to maldistribution with respect to primary care and specialties. Adequate numbers of specialty PAs could eliminate the need for training large numbers of physician specialists and also be a cost-saving strategy for high-volume but low-intensity specialty procedures.
Opponents of the degree requirement believe that it limits entry to PA training, especially for rural “second career” applicants, who have little access to formal academic prerequisites. Proponents of degrees further maintained that the requirement of a degree gave PAs upward mobility, particularly within federal and academic systems. Opponents, citing trends away from primary care in other professions associated with advanced degrees, asserted that the focus on degrees was a move away from the primary-care mission of the PA profession.
