Abstract
To examine whether online curricula were appropriate for physician assistant (PA) programs,
one PA program piloted an online curriculum for courses in endocrinology and community
health with two groups of 42 students each. Overall the Web-based courses were
effective; both courses resulted in grades and PANCE scores that were consistent with
scores from traditional courses in previous years. Student evaluations showed mixed
reviews in regard to the organization of the courses and the participants expressed a preference
for the traditional classroom course over the Web-based course. Generalizability is
limited based on two courses and one PA program.
