Introduction
The objective of this study was to discuss evidence-based strategies to promote a culture of well-being with physician assistant (PA) education.
Methods
Published literature on medical student, resident, and PA student well-being was reviewed with findings subsequently categorized according to well-being strategy.
Results
Five themes were found from existing well-being research within medical student and PA student education: faculty role modeling and support, dedicated curricular time, pass/fail grading schema and de-emphasizing grades, peer support and learning communities, and evaluation importance.
Discussion
Physician assistant educators may be able to foster a culture of well-being for their students by making even small adjustments to the existing educational curriculum.
