Description: Defining professionalism and identifying students not meeting those standards can be a challenge for PA programs and faculty. This session introduces the response to intervention (RTI) framework to help programs define their professionalism expectations, quickly identify students in need of intervention, and align interventions to specific professionalism expectations.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the response to intervention (RTI) framework to identify professionalism expectations in students
Develop measurable standards that define professionalism behaviors and align specific interventions to address them
Construct an action plan on the next steps to implement the RTI framework at their program and identify strengths and barriers to implementation
