Become a Preceptor!
We hope you enjoy our preceptor highlights. We are always looking for preceptors to assist our future PA’s in their education.
Clinical instructors are a key ingredient in educating the next generation of PAs. The clinical training of PA students follows the medical student training, including the “see one, do one” approach for clinical procedures. PA clinical education includes core rotations in family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, behavioral health, women’s health, general surgery, and emergency medicine. We are also open to specialty rotations as each student is able to complete an elective. If you would like to participate in the clinical education of PA students, please fill out the form.
Exxat
To evaluate student performance, Augsburg PA utilizes Exxat. Preceptors will be requested twice during the rotation to provide feedback. The mid-evaluation should be used as a tool to discuss with your student where they are now and how they can improve. Each preceptor is provided their own login information prior to the student arriving. If you become locked out, click on the “Forgot your Password?” link located on the page below the Client Login. Here are the steps to follow in order to access the system:
Resources
Students have syllabi and learning outcomes for each rotation. They should be sharing this with you within the first few days of the rotation; below you will find links to the respective learning outcomes for each rotation type. Additionally, reference this guide whether you are considering precepting a student, or already have one. After each core rotation, students will be tested on their knowledge. Topic lists for each rotation can be found on the PAEA website: https://paeaonline.org/assessment/end-of-rotation/content/

CME INFO

If the preceptor has more than one student at a time, they may be awarded an additional 0.25 CME credits per student per 2 weeks. PAs may earn a maximum of 10 AAPA Category 1 CME credits for clinical precepting during any single calendar year. All preceptors desiring Category 1 CME through AAPA must disclose any relevant financial relationships with industry to Augsburg University as all AAPA CME Standards must be followed.
If you are interested in being awarded CME for precepting our students, please email clinicalphase@augsburg.edu within that calendar year. *Note: We are unable to award credit from previous years due to submission standards. The email should contain the following information:
