Clinical Preceptor Recognition Program

One of the most important ways you can help patients find and receive the best medical care is to help educate the next generation of PAs. AAPA recognizes the hard work of preceptors through its Clinical Preceptor Recognition Program, developed in cooperation with the PA Education Association (PAEA). If you’re not currently a preceptor, learn more from PAEA about how to become a preceptor.
