The PA Leadership and Learning Academy (PALLA) supports workforce development and PA education across the state of Maryland.
The academy is centrally located at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. We aim to develop a physician assistant workforce and faculty capacity in Maryland to educate the next generation of PA students while advancing physician assistant education, research, and policy. PALLA’s vision is to create an inclusive learning community dedicated to excellence in education.
PALLA is leveraging virtual and face-to-face teaching to accomplish its goals through faculty and preceptor fellowships, professional development seminars, and in-person events. We address topics such as leadership, simulation, educational best practices, and creating longitudinal models to educate and evaluate PA students.
