Accreditation – Provisional is an accreditation status granted when the plans and resource allocation, if fully implemented as planned, of a proposed program that has not yet enrolled students appear to demonstrate the program’s ability to meet the ARC-PA Standards or when a program holding accreditation-provisional status appears to demonstrate continued progress in complying with the Standards as it prepares for the graduation of the first class (cohort) of students.

The Logan PA Program is a mission-driven program that recruits compassionate individuals dedicated to providing excellent whole-health care. We value applicants who demonstrate a commitment to service, community, and increased access to care for patients and their families.

Interested In Being A Preceptor?

Logan’s 24-month PA program begins with 12 months of preclinical (didactic) education and training. Following the didactic year, students engage in nine 5-week rotations and two electives over 12 months. This includes nine 5-week rotations in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Surgery, Women’s Health, Pediatrics, Behavioral Health, and 2 Electives (ex: orthopedics, trauma, cardiology, dermatology, international, etc).

We would like to invite you to become a preceptor for Logan University PA students. Their education would be incomplete without engagement with you and your patients in real world clinical settings. As a preceptor, your role will be teaching, mentoring, and assessment of PA students as their clinical judgement and skills progress.
