Abstract: Objective: This study surveyed practicing physician associates/assistants (PAs) about their genetics-genomics knowledge, attitudes, and application in practice. Methods: A 25-question electronic survey was emailed to each constituent organization of the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA) with a description of the study and a request to forward to their members. Additionally, a posting was displayed in the bulletin board section of the online AAPA Huddle. Results: Of the 420 PAs who completed the survey, few are knowledgeable (25%) about or confident (13%) in applying a genomic approach to patient care, although most (61%) think genetics-genomics is important to delivering highquality care. Remarkably, 97% of PAs surveyed are interested in genetics-genomics continuing medical education. Conclusions: PAs lack knowledge and confidence in integrating genetics-genomics into patient care; however, they have a positive attitude toward genetics-genomics and want to improve their knowledge and confidence through education.
