About The Position
The Education Clinical Coordinator (ECC) for the Physician Assistant Program is responsible for securing, cultivating, and managing clinical educational sites to ensure optimal clinical experiences for students. This hybrid position requires the incumbent to work both on campus and in the field, conducting regular visits with preceptors and health system administrators to strengthen relationships and enhance communication between hospitals and the university. The ECC will bridge the gap between clinical sites and the university, facilitating smooth operations and ensuring the program's high standards are maintained. In addition to these core responsibilities, the ECC plays a pivotal role in providing professional development opportunities for students, addressing student concerns while they are working in clinical sites, and evaluating clinical sites to ensure they meet the educational needs of the program and students. The ECC will work closely with program leadership to integrate clinical education principles into the curriculum and provide ongoing assistance regarding clinical contracts, preceptor agreements, and student placements. The role also involves proactive problem-solving for student clinical shift dilemmas and assisting with the investigation of clinical student issues that require academic actions in accordance with South University policies and procedures.
