Dr. Bradley Goad, Founder and CEO, feels it is important to help prepare future post-acute/long-term care medicine clinicians. He states, “I remember my first days working in the nursing home and how overwhelming it could be. There is so much to learn as a student, not only the complexity of the comorbid conditions, but the intricacies of medication management, quality measures, and elderly care as a whole. I am proud Premier routinely serves as a clinical training site and that our clinicians make the time in their busy schedules to share with students why our specialty is uniquely satisfying from both a professional and personal perspective.”

The fact that Premier’s Chief Operating Officer, Holly Roy, is a practicing Physician Assistant and Premier’s Chief Education and Compliance Officer, Jamie Smith is a practicing Nurse Practitioner, brings the topic of clinician training particularly close to home. It is extremely meaningful when the C-Suite leaders are direct contacts with the APC training programs in Virginia and North Carolina.

Holly Roy notes, “As a former student and life-long learner, it is truly an honor to work with local colleges and universities partnering in cultivating the growth and development of high quality APCs. Showing them first-hand the positive impact Premier clinicians have in long term care is priceless."

Similarly, Ms. Smith also looks forward to growing these partnerships. She happily reports that “being given the chance to share insights into our specialty is a blessing, but to do so with this practice is particularly rewarding. And from time-to-time it repays the practice when a student elects to come to work with Premier!”

Premier welcomes inquiries from both clinician training programs and students seeking a clinical site to complete their educational requirements. To learn more, please visit our website at www.premiergeriatric.com or call us at (800) 765-7130.
