Pros
Geisinger has utilized PAs and NPs for a long time, and utilized them well (this is changing). Benefits are very good--not exceptional--but very good.
Cons
PAs are provided very little opportunity for advancement. Perhaps that is the culture generated by our profession as *dependent* practitioners. As the system becomes more academic in nature, PA autonomy has decreased; responsibilities that were once soley the PA's, are now within the pervue of residents and many of us have been relegated to support positions with responsibilities that are neither personally nor professionally rewarding. This is most unfortunate.
