Facilitators Needed for April 7 PA Virtual Fair

PAEA is looking for facilitators for our next virtual fair, taking place on April 7. A virtual fair is an online recruitment event where attendees visit chat rooms hosted by PAEA and PA programs that choose to participate. It’s an ideal way to interact with a whole new generation of curious PA applicants. PAEA hosts a “general PA information” chat room, where attendees can talk with facilitators about different aspects of the profession — ranging from applying to PA school to preparing for and entering practice. With your help, we can ensure potential PA students have access to the information they need. 

We will host live presentations from students, practitioners, and educators in our general information chat room. We’re seeking five to ten presenters who would be willing to host a 15–30-minute webinar or Q&A session on a topic of their choice. Some possible topics could include (but are not limited to): 

  • What PA school is like 
  • Tips for prospective applicants 
  • Post-graduation steps 
  • PA work life 
  • Virtual interview tips 
  • Changes in education due to COVID-19 
  • Another topic you are passionate about 

Global majority or international PA students/educators/practitioners are highly encouraged to volunteer for this opportunity. 

Prefer not to present? That’s fine. We would still love to have you help facilitate the chat anytime between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. ET. You can participate for 30 minutes or for all 12 hours — no time is too short! Or, if your program is interested in hosting its own room, please register here

If you would like to participate at any time on April 7, email Heather Storm at hstorm@PAEAonline.org by Friday, April 2. Please include the time(s) you are available, and she will get you scheduled.
