Preceptor Benefits
UMKC’s preceptors are instrumental in enhancing our physician assistant (PA) students’ clinical acumen, as well as their interprofessional development. Preceptors help ensure the next generation of healthcare providers are capable, well-trained and compassionate team members.
The UMKC PA program offers the following benefits our preceptors (some benefits are dependent on level of service):
- Financial Stipend
- Category 1 AAPA CME (for certified PAs only)
- UMKC School of Medicine Volunteer Faculty Appointment (available for preceptors who who train four or more PA students in a year)
- EMR documentation by PA students may be cosigned by preceptor for medical charting/billing/coding
- Opportunity for mentoring and professional stewardship by training future PA colleagues
Preceptors may also qualify for benefits that are offered through non-UMKC organizations. The UMKC PA program is not responsible for facilitating these on behalf of the preceptor, but may be able to provide supporting documentation to verify preceptor commitment.
- Category 2 CME (dependent on specific professional organizations)
- Missouri Preceptor Tax Credit Program for Primary Care Rotations
