Experienced and immediately applicable instruction and content
Overseeing and directing the clinical phase is one of the more challenging positions in PA education. I know. I have been a clinical coordinator several times over my years in PA education. And I continue to work with programs and faculty all over the country regarding the clinical phase from adjusting syllabi, ensuring assessment alignment, crafting and guiding clinical year policies and procedures, and accreditation compliance. With 28 years of experience in PA education and 20-plus years of providing successful faculty development, let me help you quickly learn and apply fundamental educational concepts, strategies, and tools that will help you develop, manage, and maintain the clinical phase of the program with attention to accreditation standards.
