It runs six institutions — full-time, inpatient settings where people spend most of their lives — for people with developmental disabilities and mental retardation. The state has targeted four of these institutions, housing nearly 500 residents, for closure within the next few years, starting with its most notorious one, Fernald. The ARC of Massachusetts hailed the planned closures — “It’s a victory!” said its executive director yesterday. While most residents will, by choice, be moved to community settings — group homes — the state thinks about 160 residents will choose to move instead to one of the ...

One, why does a PA program director need to be a PA or a physician? It certainly should be a consideration, but not a requirement. At least two terrific PA educators were not PAs: PAEA immediate past president and University of Colorado Child Health Associate PA program interim director Anita Duhl Glicken, MSW, and former Northeastern University PA program director and APAP past president Suzanne Greenberg, MS. In fact, a review of past APAP/PAEA presidents reveals several non-PAs: Ronald D. Garcia, Jesse Edwards, Denis Oliver, Stephen Gladhart and David Lewis. Isn’t the pool of talented medical educators shallow enough? Why exclude qualified people simply because they are not PAs? Also, why must PA program ...

The ARC-PA is soliciting comments on the standards as part of its regular updating and revision process. Provide your thoughts on changes that would improve the standards by using a Web-based survey available here. The deadline for responding is January 15, 2009.

The American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) recognizes the value that voluntary participation in postgraduate clinical training programs may have for physician assistants (PAs) who seek additional knowledge and skills. However, the AAPA does not believe that there should be an accreditation system for these programs. This paper discusses why accreditation of postgraduate clinical training could jeopardize the role and mission of the PA profession and suggests other ways to promote quality and protect participants. ...

Duke University Medical Center's postgraduate PA surgical residency earned accreditation. Previously accredited were M.D. Anderson Cancer Center's postgraduate PA program in oncology and Johns Hopkins Hospital Department of Surgery's postgraduate PA surgical residency.

Update: It's fixed now. I guess ARC-PA is reading this blog.)
