Abstract
This article describes the 10-year journey of a research group helping to build the research evidence base for physician assistants (PAs), known as physician associates in the United Kingdom, in the National Health Service in England. It draws out some key issues that may be of interest to those developing PA research programs in different specialties and different countries. PA research also can help healthcare policy makers address growing demand, issues of quality, and cost.
