PA

Exit Survey

Year graduated from PA school:

Number of years practicing medicine as a PA:

Specialization:

I completed a geriatric rotation as part of my clinical training (yes/no)

Was a geriatric rotation offered through my PA school? (yes/no)

Geriatric based curriculum was included in didactic portion of my PA school

PA school prepared me to deal with the geriatric related medical problems that I encounter as a PA.

Typically, how many older adults (ages 65+) do you treat on a typical workday?

What age group do you treat most frequently

65-74

75-84

85+

I am clinically confident treating older adults

Specialized training/experience and education in geriatrics throughout PA school is necessary to successfully treat older adults

In a typical appointment time frame I have adequate time to treat an older adult patient

PA students’ attitudes towards older adults affect their choice to specialize (or not specialize) in geriatrics

What do you think is needed to more successfully train PAs to work with older adults? (i.e: more clinical experience, more/different PA school geriatric curriculum, more resources, increased exposure to geriatric related conditions, co-existing conditions information, etc.)
