University of Manitoba MPAS Alumni: We Need Your Insight!
We want to inform you about a research study titled “Identifying Barriers and Facilitators to Physician Assistant Participation in Scholarship: A Pathway to Curriculum Enhancement and Professional Development”, conducted by researchers at the University of Manitoba. The study aims to explore the challenges physician assistants face in engaging with scholarly research and identify strategies to enhance research training and opportunities within PA education.
Despite the growing recognition of physician assistants in healthcare, research productivity among PAs remains limited. This study examines key obstacles—including time constraints, limited mentorship, and institutional barriers—and seeks to identify ways to better integrate research training within PA education and professional development.
Participation in this study involves completing a short (10 minute) survey regarding perceptions of research engagement, available support, and barriers faced by physician assistants. Your responses will contribute to a greater understanding of scholarly productivity within the PA profession and inform improvements in education and mentorship programs.
Participation is entirely voluntary. If you choose to participate, please click the link below to access the survey. Responses will remain anonymous, ensuring that no identifying information is collected or shared.
If you have any questions about the study, please contact Elisa Chand at (204) 272-3094 or [email protected] .
