Many of the PA faculty members honed their own skills as students at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, providing the program with faculty that is familiar with the unique inquiry-based learning (IBL). Others trained at programs across the country, adding a variety of educational experiences to the curriculum. The PA program values the need for clinicians to keep current with changing technologies and patient practices, therefore all of the faculty PAs are encouraged to maintain ongoing clinical practice.
In support of the program’s focus on developing leadership, a number of the faculty have held in-state and national leadership roles in both health care settings and professional organizations including the American Academy of PAs (AAPA), the Physician Assistant Education Association (PAEA) and the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA).
