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.

Benefits available to our preceptors include (some benefits are dependent on level of service):

• Category 1 CME (for certified PAs only)
• Category 2 CME
• UMKC School of Medicine Courtesy 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
