The purpose of this one- or two-day workshop is to comprehensively review the new 5th Edition Standards regarding the Self-Study Report. Programs can elect to request either a one-day workshop only or the two-day package.

This workshop will incorporate the individual programs on data sources to provide examples of how the data collection data analysis, conclusions based on the data, and action plans can be incorporated.

The second day of the 5th Edition Standards Workshop incorporates methodology on how to bring your assessment system to the next level. Your PA program will be provided with exemplars of how committee structure and data analysis can be systematized, including examples of graphical and tabular self-assessment plans, which can be incorporated into the program’s internal assessment process. The overview covered in the first day will then be incorporated into these advanced elements. The workshop facilitator will guide the program as they adopt new assessment methods to ensure compliance with the 5th Edition Standards.
