Position Description Summary
Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania invites applications for temporary faculty positions (full-time one semester, part-time one semester or part-time academic year) as needs arise in the Department of Physician Associate Studies.
The Department of Physician Associate (PA) Studies at Commonwealth University houses the nationally recognized Physician Assistant (PA) Program. Founded in 1996 as the Lock Haven University PA Program, and graduating its first class in 1998, this program is recognized as the first PA Program within Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education. Following five years of success at the Lock Haven campus, the PA Program was expanded to the Clearfield campus location in 2001 with classroom instruction delivered using state-of-the-art distance education technology. In 2010, the PA Program was again expanded, now offering instruction additionally at a campus location in Harrisburg. Graduates of the program enjoy a 98% first-time pass rate on the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination (PANCE). The Department of PA Studies consists of on-site faculty at each campus location where the program is offered. On-site faculty serve as instructors for both classroom and lab-based instruction as well as advisors for both first year (didactic phase) and second year (clinical phase) students. The curriculum for the PA Program utilizes a team-teaching approach to a modular-based design with didactic instruction, following an organ-based and medical specialty-focused approach. Faculty in the department have clinical expertise in a variety of settings including family practice, pediatrics, women’s health, inpatient medicine, emergency medicine/urgent care, and surgery.
