There are less medical students electing to enter primary care; therefore, it is predicted that there will be a scarce amount of family medicine physicians available. Recent evidence indicates productivity and quality of care are enhanced when PAs and NPs are added to the primary care collaborative team. Increasing the role of PAs and NPs could be a great approach for addressing the growing need for primary care providers as coverage expands under the ACA. A greater framework of PAs and NPs would expand access to care and reduce over-utilization of costly emergency services. Overall, PAs and NPs are advantageous in the provision of primary care services through interchangeable roles, efficiency, and reimbursement (Hooker and Muchow, 2015).
