PurposeLearning to perform and document patient history taking and physical exam (H&P) entails a major component of the 1st year academic education of physician assistant (PA) students at Wayne State University, USA. The H&P is summative of multiple aspects of PA education, and students must master communication with patients and other health care...

The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a correlation between type of pre-PA program HC...

Success in research is a well-known challenge for physician assistant (PA) educators. Multiple barriers to research productivity have been proposed. This study examines potential barriers to PA research productivity.
Methods:
Two hundred forty-seven PA programs were stratified by region and Carnegie classification, creating 28 stra...
Questions
Question (1)
The Journal of Allied Health sent me the following about a research article submission:
Thank you for submitting your article, “XXXX” to the Journal of Allied Health. Unfortunately, the reviewers that we use for this kind of manuscript are unavailable. Please send names and contact information for individuals at other institutions so that we can issue invitations to them to assess your paper—thank you.
Does this seem normal? I've been asked to suggest reviewers before (usually during the submission process) but never asked to provide them. The topic is not a specialized one. JAH is not considered a predatory journal. Any advice? Should I provide reviewers or should I retract by submission and try with a journal that...has their own reviewers.
