The Clinical Education Coordinator (CEC) is a mission-critical administrative and operational support role that partners closely with the Director of Clinical Education (DCE) to ensure the effective execution of the PA program’s clinical year. While the DCE retains responsibility for academic oversight, curricular alignment, site development strategy, and clinical decision-making, the CEC provides the essential administrative infrastructure that allows those responsibilities to be carried out efficiently, consistently, and in compliance with accreditation standards.

This position manages the systems, processes, and administrative workflows that are essential to the delivery and oversight of the clinical phase of the program. This includes maintaining clinical education data systems, tracking student progression and compliance requirements, coordinating evaluation processes, and ensuring accurate, audit-ready documentation for accreditation. These responsibilities require ongoing management of high-volume, multi-site data and communication across students, faculty, and clinical partners. The accuracy and timeliness of these systems are critical to supporting program operations, informing decision-making, and maintaining compliance with accreditation standards.
