With the growing shortage of rheumatology specialists in the U.S., healthcare systems face increasing delays, clinician burnout, and inefficiencies. In this episode, we explore a promising solution: the integration of physician assistants/associates (PAs) into rheumatology practice. We’re joined by Benjamin Smith, PA-C, Associate Dean and Program Director at Florida State University, and first author of "Profile and Attributes of Physician Assistants/Associates in Rheumatology" published in Arthritis Care & Research. He shares insights into the demographics, workload, satisfaction, and future potential of rheumatology PAs, highlighting their expanding role in addressing workforce gaps and enhancing patient care.
