The student characteristics and employment status of physician assistants trained at MEDEX Northwest in Seattle between 1969 and 1979 were surveyed. There were 201 graduates and an attrition rate of 11.1 percent. Of 142 respondents, 88.7 percent were currently employed as physician assistants or nurse practitioners. Most (77.5 percent) were employed by their teaching preceptors following graduation. A majority (55.6 percent) were working in public or nonprofit private sector facilities. In all, 70 percent were practicing in Washington state, 75 percent were in family practice and 62 percent were working in communities of less than 50,000 population. These results compare favorably with rural and primary care practice data for physician assistants and physicians nationally. An effective preceptorship and deployment system is proposed as an important reason for the results.
