Clinical Partner
Invest in the future of healthcare by becoming a clinical partner with the University of Arizona Physician Assistant Program. As a preceptor, your expertise, guidance, and commitment to teaching will have a lasting impact on our students as they develop the knowledge, clinical skills, and professional values needed to become exceptional physician assistants.
A preceptor is an experienced licensed clinician who guides PA students during their clinical rotations by supervising patient care, teaching practical skills, and providing mentorship and feedback. Preceptors are vital to PA education because they bridge the gap between didactic learning and real-world clinical practice, helping students develop clinical reasoning, professionalism, communication skills, and confidence. Through teaching and role modeling, preceptors play a central role in preparing future PAs to deliver safe, competent, and compassionate patient care.
