Program Development

This service is for institutions wanting to develop a new PA program. There are many items to consider when launching a new program. There are a lot of things to do in a short amount of time so planning is an essential part of the project.

Having a consultant who has successful experience starting a new program is also paramount. Many consultants know the components needed for a PA program. However, developing a new program has specific nuances and every institution will have a unique culture and needs.

Assistance is also available for specific projects like developing admissions, policies and procedures, facility design, and advisory boards.

Program Self-Assessment Design & Implementation

Whether you are a new PA program wanting us to design a program assessment process or an established program wanting to improve your current program self-assessment process unique to your program, we are ready to help.

We have also designed a global assessment process for physician assistant programs just beginning the planning of an assessment process. The design incorporates program evaluations, student performance within the program, student case logs, and other measures like admissions and attrition, to provide a comprehensive approach to comparing and contrasting data throughout the program.

We have developed standard evaluations that encompass specific survey items that can be modified to reflect the uniqueness of every program.

Program Maintenance

This service is for established programs who have already received initial provisional accreditation. Maybe there are several areas of the program that need to be reassessed and updated.

We can perform an overall evaluation of the program and provide potential recommendations for improvement in the areas of the curriculum, self-assessment, faculty development, team building, or leadership development.

Curriculum Design

This service is to assist institutions or program directors in all areas of the curriculum. This can involve designing and implementing a new curriculum, making some curricular changes, curricular mapping, or developing specific areas of the curriculum.

We can assist with incorporating or improving your Summative Evaluation, Interprofessional Education (IPE), cultural inclusion, service-learning, or other aspects of your program.
