18.1.3. Meetings and Conferences
Information on national and state PA conferences will be available to students as members of these associations. Students are encouraged to participate in these professional meetings and conferences. Students who wish to attend national or regional meetings that overlap with scheduled classes must complete a Notification of Absence form to obtain approval. Students must be in good academic standing in order to attend and will be required to meet with the course coordinator of missed courses to plan for make-up of missed work. If conferences overlap with clinical experiences, the student must get permission from the Director of Clinical Education and the primary preceptor of record.
