Assessment-Driven Research Opportunities Volume 5: Strategies for PA Faculty Tenure and Promotion, Part 2

February 15, 2023•1 min read

In today’s newsletter, we conclude our series on assessment-driven research opportunities for PA faculty. In our previous edition, we discussed the point system used to determine tenure and promotion among university faculty members. As promised, I now present a typical chart of point values used, with some suggestions below on how the activities within can be adjusted and applied to PA faculty.

Point Values for Assessment

PA faculty are encouraged to become familiar with the required points and select specific aspects to tackle each year. Finally, clarify whether a doctoral degree is required. In many cases a master’s degree is the terminal degree. If a doctoral degree is required, any projects required for the degree can be maximized by disseminating this in journals and presentations, etc.

Scott Massey

With over three decades of experience in PA education, Dr. Scott Massey is a recognized authority in the field. He has demonstrated his expertise as a program director at esteemed institutions such as Central Michigan University and as the research chair in the Department of PA Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Massey's influence spans beyond practical experience, as he has significantly contributed to accreditation, assessment, and student success. His innovative methodologies have guided numerous PA programs to ARC-PA accreditation and improved program outcomes. His predictive statistical risk modeling has enabled schools to anticipate student results. Dr Massey has published articles related to predictive modeling and educational outcomes. Doctor Massey also has conducted longitudinal research in stress among graduate Health Science students. His commitment to advancing the PA field is evident through participation in PAEA committees, councils, and educational initiatives.
