Physician Assistant Faculty Development Academy™
Excellence in Education
Creating practical, evidence-based faculty development programs and providing support and resources for PA educators.
Let me put my 20+ years of successful faculty development experience to work for you.
Welcome to the Academy. After providing faculty development at the national level as well as in PA programs across the country, I have taken my passion for teaching and education and my commitment to our profession to develop courses and provide mentorship to help you quickly learn, apply, and master essential educational concepts, along with evidence-based teaching approaches, strategies, and tools that are immediately applicable to your daily work in PA education.
I know the transition from clinician to educator has its challenges, and I am here to help make that journey a successful one. Being an educator is one of the most rewarding careers along with being a PA, of course, because you play an essential role in our profession's quality and longevity by teaching the next generation of physician assistants!
