Are you excited about upward mobility and igniting your passion for
leadership? Do you want to hone your preceptor skills and gain more value in
precepting?
The PALLA Healthcare Leadership and Preceptor Advancement (HELP-PA) Fellowship is a 4-month preceptor development program, created with the goal of advancing clinical education, creating a community of interprofessional preceptors, providing opportunities for networking, and promoting excellence in precepting and PA education.
Fellowship Overview
The next cohort of the Healthcare Leadership and Preceptor Advancement Fellowship begins in January 2025 and ends in May 2025. Leveraging spaced and scaffolding learning strategies, fellows will participate in synchronous and asynchronous activities involving every-other-week (120-minute duration) active learning sessions and self-paced online learning. Working with dedicated mentors, fellows will also have an opportunity to produce applied scholarly products on topics such as quality improvement, implementation science, clinical medicine, leadership, health professions education, and health systems science.
For the 2025 academic year, selected fellows from Maryland will be remunerated in two installments of $2500 each, to offset their clinical practice time, and use towards professional development. Additionally, fellows will earn more than 20 hours of category 1 CME for completion of all fellowship requirements over the four months. The estimated time commitment will be 40-45 hours over a 4-month period. While the University of Maryland System institutions are not obligated to offer any fellow a faculty appointment upon completion of their fellowship, the fellowship program is intended as a step toward a fellow’s development as a potential clinical faculty member.
The application deadline for the next cohort of the Preceptor Advancement Fellowship is:
