Abstract

Undergraduate administrators, faculty, and staff support pre-health students during their academic preparation. In addition, they provide them with appropriate advisement services and resources to position them to successfully apply to various health professions programs. While there are similarities and differences between physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs), they play important roles in the provision of healthcare in the United States and abroad. A better understanding of these two professions is needed. This chapter aims to introduce administrators, faculty, and staff to the scope of practice and educational preparation of PAs and NPs, as well as the application processes for their respective programs. The authors also discuss mental health stressors and burnout experienced by both PA and NP students and providers in hopes of encouraging interventions at the undergraduate level.
