PA Program Advisors
All students are assigned a core PA faculty member as their Academic Advisor. Advisors are available as a resource to students to achieve academic and professional goals throughout the Program.
Student Success Facilitator
The Program is committed to supporting students in achieving academic success and maintaining low levels of attrition. The Program uses several data points throughout the curriculum to identify learners at risk for academic struggle and places these learners with a student success facilitator. The Program’s Student Success Facilitator may be assigned as early as the first semester of training, and/or at points during the didactic or clinical phase of instruction, as needed.
Student Tutor Services
Should tutoring services be needed, the Office of Student Affairs provides access to student-led tutoring sessions (either individual or group, depending on student need and overall demand).
The PA Program Director of Curriculum, the Student Assessment and Promotions Committee, the student advisor, or Course Director may recommend tutoring for students who need additional academic services. If tutoring is recommended, they will be directed to an approved tutor for that course content. Tutoring services provided through RVU are free.
