“Managing
Self, Managing Others”
FDI
Workshop Invitation to PA Faculty
Sherry Stolberg, MGPGP, PA-C
Workshop Coordinator
APAP,
through the Faculty Development Institute (FDI), is pleased to introduce
a new faculty development workshop series: “Managing Self, Managing
Others.” The workshop will be offered regionally, beginning this
summer, in the following locations:
June 6 - 8 in Salt Lake City; host, University of Utah
PA Program
June 27 - 29 in Philadelphia area; host, Arcadia University PA Program
Overview: Program directors and other PA faculty
frequently identify managing faculty, staff, preceptors, and students
as a particularly challenging part of their jobs. The people in our
professional lives provide joy and satisfaction, but may also become
the source of frustration, worry, and sleepless nights. This intensive
1 1/2 day workshop will focus on developing and refining the skills
needed for successful management of the self and others in setting
of PA education.
Learning strategies will include lecture/presentations,
discussion, and exercises for skills building, self-reflection, and
networking with peers. I will facilitate both workshops with Karen
Mulitalo in Salt Lake City and Dawn Morton-Rias in Philadelphia.
Sample Topics:
Managing self (I know I’m not perfect, but…)
Difficult communication (Do I have to talk to you again?)
Effective feedback, coaching, and mentoring (It’s my way or
the highway.)
Crisis management (You think that’s bad, how about the time…)
Managing others (Why can’t they all just do their jobs and
leave me alone?)
Managing groups (Not another meeting!)
Communicating up and down the academic hierarchy (I love my dean.)
Promoting diversity in PA programs (Why can’t they all be
like me?)
Plans for follow-up (You mean I have to do something once this
workshop is over?)
Participants: The workshop is intended for program
directors, associate program directors, and PA faculty with management
responsibilities. Limit of one participant/program. Participation
