Physician assistant (PA) preceptors prefer electronic communication and in-person site visits. Understanding their needs improves PA program engagement and preceptor retention.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Physician Assistant Studies

Background:

  • Preceptors are vital for physician assistant (PA) education.
  • Effective communication strategies are crucial for PA preceptor development and retention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore PA preceptors' perspectives on established and new communication strategies.
  • To identify preferred communication methods and topics for PA preceptor engagement.

Main Methods:

  • An electronic survey was distributed to PA preceptors in December 2014.
  • Quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

Main Results:

  • A 42% response rate (88/209) was achieved.
  • Preceptors reported satisfaction with communication frequency and quality.

  • Preferred topics included benefits, teaching strategies, student feedback, and policy updates.
  • Many preceptors did not receive mailed communications; in-person site visits were preferred annually.

    • Conclusions:

    • The PA program adapted communication to emphasize preferred topics and utilize electronic methods.
    • The study reinforced the value of in-person site visits for PA preceptor engagement.
    • Findings support enhancing PA program communication for improved preceptor satisfaction and retention.
