Evaluation Findings Shared at Recent Conference

October 18, 2023

We are thrilled to highlight the work of Senior Evaluation Manager Alisa Ainbinder, who recently co-authored a poster and paper with Theresa Riethle, Marie Meckel, and Dawn Gurski from the Bay Path University's Physician Assistant (PA) Program. Their research aimed to dispel common misconceptions about careers in primary care and encourage PA graduates to consider this vital field. The study found that through a curriculum intervention, misconceptions were successfully addressed.


This work was presented last week at the Physician Assistant Education Association Conference and is funded through a HRSA grant aimed at increasing the number of PAs pursuing careers as primary care providers in a Medically Underserved Community.
