Faculty Development Workshop

This package provides support to PA programs by assessing individual program needs and designing development programs for the program faculty. These services can be adapted based on the experience level of the faculty members.

Faculty development is, by nature, longitudinal. Implementation of this package begins with an onsite or virtual workshop, followed by monthly sessions with the faculty. Individual scholarship projects can be supervised.

The Faculty Development Workshop will cover the following topics:

• Syllabus course design

• Writing educational objectives

• Constructing exams

• Assessment strategies

• Grading strategies

• Motivating students

• Classroom management

• Presentation and communication skills

• Self-reflection, teaching philosophy development

• Incorporating artistic and scholarly projects

• Assistance with institutional portfolios

Many universities require PA faculty to develop and present a scholarship for purposes of promotion and tenure. This package includes basic research skills development and longitudinal mentorship provided by Scott Massey, PhD, PA-C.
