Indiana Physician Assistant 2012 Licensure Survey Report

Abstract

Physician assistants (PAs) were asked to participate in a survey when they renewed their state license to practice in 2012. There were 989 total PAs who renewed their licenses in 2012, of which 819 completed their renewal online and were offered the survey. Of those offered the survey, 730 (89.1%) completed it. There were 660 physician assistants who met all of the inclusion criteria for the analysis. Individuals included in the analysis must have (1) responded to the survey, (2) held an active or probationary Indiana license, (3) listed at least one Indiana practice address, and (4) indicated that they were actively working as a physician assistant. Only individuals who listed a primary practice address in Indiana were included in the maps in Chapter 4. The sample analyzed in this report represents 66.7 percent of the total number of PA licensees in the state.
