The purpose of this study was to identify what types of preparation would benefit a facilitator
who would be assuming a new teaching role in a PBL program for physician assistants. My research
questions were: 1) In what ways have PA instructors been prepared to conduct PBL in a PA
program? 2) In what ways have PA programs prepared the curricula, students, and logistical issues,
which directly or indirectly support PBL instructor readiness?
