Open Positions
9-15 positions available.
We’re looking for a small group of volunteers to help review and provide feedback on three upcoming PAEA learning modules. Each course will need 3-5 reviewers with skills and experience in the course topic areas. Your input will help ensure these courses are clear, practical, and impactful for PA educators and advocates.
This is a short-term, high-impact opportunity—each review takes about 30-60 minutes and can be completed within a 1-week window (exact timing of each course review can be found in the link to apply).
Current modules:
- Effective Communication – preparing advocates to engage with members of Congress and legislative staff
- Legislative Issues – strengthening how legislative content is developed and presented
- Introduction to Item Writing – an introductory module for PA educators on writing high-quality multiple choice test questions aligned with learning outcomes and designed to assess appropriate levels of learning
You’ll be asked to select one course to review, with the option to indicate interest in more than one if your availability and experience align.
Interested? Complete this short application by Friday, May 18 at 11:59pm ET: Apply Now!
Even if these topics aren’t the right fit, you can opt in to be considered for future course review opportunities throughout the year.
Thank you for considering helping us strengthen these learning experiences for PAEA members!
Volunteer positions will be posted throughout the year as they arise for both ad-hoc work groups as well as standing committees and boards.
Please check back periodically for new volunteer opportunities.
