Augsburg University offers a graduate PA fellowship for our students to gain extra experience both in and out of the classroom during their journey to become a PA.
PA Education Graduate Fellowship
In support of Augsburg University’s mission, the Augsburg PA program offers a PA Graduate Fellow Program.
This is an opportunity for recently graduated PAs to grow their leadership and teaching skills in a hands-on classroom setting during the time between graduation and clinical practice.
The Graduate Fellow will be supported financially to work with the PA program to become mentors and role models to current graduate-level PA students and PA faculty, reaffirming and growing our culture of respect and sensitivity to people of every culture and background.
The Fellow will have an opportunity to prepare for their boards, licensure, and clinical practice while being mentored by PA program faculty in principles of health professions education and then applying those skills in the PA classroom.
PA fellows meet the following guidelines:
- Anticipated graduation from PA school or recently graduated from an accredited PA program.
- Demonstrates a commitment to teaching future PAs in the clinical or educational setting.
- Possesses a strong understanding of the experiences of all groups of people experiencing access barriers to health and education.
- Experience leading and/or organizing scholarly work, events, or projects that serve to create and advance a learning environment and healthcare for all.
