We are seeking student participants in Physician Assistant/Associate programs over the age of 18 years of age, with and without collegiate athletic experience. Participation is voluntary and will not influence your standing within your program/university.
You will be asked to fill out a one-time brief survey between December 12, 2025, to March 2,<sup>
</sup>2026. This is a 32-question survey, which should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. This project will allow the researchers to determine associative factors which may be contributing to perceived student success in graduate level Physician Assistant/Associate
programs. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
