Recently, a team of researchers at the NCCPA examined the impact of educational debt on PA specialty selection - tune in as we discuss their work as recently published in JAAPA. We know that the decision to specialize is nuanced, involving a PAs individual goals, experiences in PA school, job availability for each physical location, compensation, and levels of debt accrued in training. Listen as Andrez Kozikowski, Alicia Quella, and Mirela Bruza-Augatis discuss this important topic.
