As one of the most selective fellowship programs in the state, more than 150 applicants from 88 different Physician Assistant programs applied to fill 16 positions. TTUHSC was the only program with more than one representative chosen.
The FEF is designed to enhance PA students’ understanding of medical education and
academic careers in PA education. The fellowship aims to provide a broad foundation
of teaching to prepare students for careers in education. The FEF will help create
and enhance students’ pathways to education by fostering students to be learners,
leaders, citizens, collaborators, designers, facilitators, and analysts. As part
of the fellowship, both students will attend the PAEA Annual Education Forum in Anaheim,
CA in October, then, they will be engaged in a year-long program, working through
educational programming, problems, and competencies designed to foster foundations
in PA education.
