Moves and Milestones

The University of North Dakota PA Program Undertakes Pilot Program: After 30 years of accepting only registered nurses into the PA program, the University of North Dakota PA Program has implemented a pilot program for its next  three successive classes in which a wider range of clinically practicing professionals will also be accepted. Program director Mary Ann Laxen said that the new class includes clinically experienced dietitians, pharmacists, FMGs, paramedics, CV technologists, respiratory and physical therapists and, of course, RNs.

Do you have news you'd like to share with other faculty members?

PAEA Networker's Moves and Milestones is designed to help keep members informed about their colleagues’ activities. The column features information on faculty moves and promotions and on significant changes and achievements at member programs. Examples are faculty moving to new positions within the program or elsewhere, grants received, articles or books published, a new track or satellite campus established. We also welcome curricular innovations that may not have the research basis for peer-reviewed publication but that would be of anecdotal interest to PA faculty.

If you have news you would like to share, please send it to Eileen Evans, PAEA Networker managing editor, at eevans@PAEAonline.org; (703) 548-5538, ext. 307. News must be received by the 20th of the month for inclusion in the following month’s issue.
