Encouraging Clinical Education Collaboration

There are many complicated aspects of PA education, but conflict over clinical sites doesn’t have to be one of them. As part of PAEA’s strategic focus on strengthening the clinical training environment for PA programs, the Committee on Clinical Education (CCE) has developed a brand new issue brief highlighting the importance of inter-program collaboration.

“The Three ‘C’s of Clinical Education” discusses why collaboration is necessary for a strong, overall PA education system, and how it can actually benefit your program and students more than you might think.

To build on this issue brief, members of the CCE will be publishing online articles in the coming weeks to not only reiterate the importance of collaboration, but also showcase what they are doing in their very own programs to successfully communicate and collaborate with other programs.

Do you have a story that you want to share about how you are collaborating with other programs? We’d love to hear it.
