Abstract
In a national survey of 3,294 non-military responding physician assistants, sociodemographic and practice characteristics of male and female physician assistants were compared. Differences by specialty, practice setting, size of community, and hours of work were generally similar in nature, but smaller in magnitude, than those reported for physicians, and may not be of practical significance.Keywords
