Beyond the Clinic: PAs as Educators and Preceptors

Description

2026 marks the 50th anniversary of CAPA. As part of this milestone celebration, CAPA is proud to present the Beyond the Clinic webinar series, a multi-part program highlighting career paths and professional opportunities for Physician Associates outside of traditional clinical settings.

In this session, Beyond the Clinic: PAs as Educators and Preceptors, Heidi Terwey, PA-C, will explore the important role Physician Associates can play in educating, mentoring, and preparing the next generation of PAs. The session will examine opportunities for PAs to become involved in clinical precepting and PA education, along with the experiences and skills they can bring from clinical practice into educational settings.

Attendees will also learn more about what it means to serve as a preceptor or educator, the impact these roles can have on PA students and the profession, and considerations for PAs interested in becoming more involved in education. The session will highlight how teaching and mentorship can provide another meaningful avenue for professional growth and contribution throughout a PA's career.
