MENTOR AND TRAIN THE NEXT GENERATION OF PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS

Franklin Pierce PA students will have completed 13 months of didactic education prior to beginning clinical rotations. Our PA students are eager to learn through experience in a clinical setting.

Clinical preceptors are licensed health professionals who act as mentors and role models to Franklin Pierce University’s physician assistant (PA) students. Clinical preceptors are essential in guiding our PA student experiences through numerous aspects of patient care; including history taking, physical examination, assessment, diagnostic testing, patient documentation and presentation.
