Teaching Your Faculty to Analyze C1.01 and C1.02
Most programs can answer the seven Sixth Edition assessment questions with numbers. Fewer can show a reviewer how their faculty got from the numbers to the conclusion.
A one-hour working session on running the analysis as a faculty exercise: trigger criteria set in advance, a six-step worksheet, and a meeting format that builds the evidence trail.
See the full agenda and register →Every registrant receives the Critical Analysis Laboratory worksheet and the recording, and this page becomes the replay.

Replay · Standard C1.01
ARC-PA C1.01: When to Choose Compliant vs. ANI (All 5 Questions)
A repeatable, defensible process for the five C1.01 self-study questions — choosing the right data, triangulating it, and deciding when a finding truly rises to an area needing improvement.

Replay · Standard C1.02
ARC-PA C1.02: Building a Defensible Case for Faculty & Staff Sufficiency
The two C1.02 questions beneath the surface — capacity, workload calculations, faculty attrition, the institution's role, and when insufficiency becomes an area needing improvement.

Replay · Standard B3.01a
ARC-PA B3.01a: Clinical Capacity, Evidence & the Alternative
What ARC-PA expects for clinical site and preceptor sufficiency, what Section D now requires of developing programs, and how programs reach capacity when the region is saturated.

Replay · Continuous Assessment
Continuous Assessment: Using the Five Questions Year-Round
Treating assessment as continuous research instead of an end-of-cycle chore: the C1.01 questions as an annual framework, a centralized assessment committee model, and using A1.02 to make the case for institutional support.

Replay · Mission, Goals & Service Learning
Service Learning: Connecting Your Institutional Mission to Program Outcomes
Turning a mission that mentions service into written goals, curriculum and evidence — B1.01a, the A1.10b limit on international sites, and the four separate obligations inside A3.09b, plus how one program actually runs and funds it.

Replay · Remote & Virtual Faculty
Harnessing the Power of Remote Faculty
Staffing pharmacology, pathophysiology and anatomy with faculty who never come to campus: B2.02 and B4.01, the syllabus, Zoom and cameras-on ground rules, and what students said once it ran. Two live sessions, edited into one replay.
Watch the replay →Built To Be Used
More than a video on a page.
Accreditation questions are specific — "how do I define an ANI?" shouldn't require scrubbing a 45-minute video. Every replay ships three ways to get the answer:
Chapter navigation
Chapter buttons jump the player to that section in place — and every chapter is a shareable timestamped link you can send to a colleague.
Written summaries
Each chapter is summarized in writing on the replay page, so you can skim the whole session in two minutes and watch only what you need.
Full transcript
The complete session, lightly edited for readability and searchable with your browser — read it, quote it, or bring it to your assessment committee.
Frequently Asked
Webinars: common questions.
Are MACS webinars free, and do I need to register to watch a replay?+
Replays are free and require no registration — every session is embedded on its own page with chapter navigation, written chapter summaries, and a full transcript. Live sessions do require registration, which is how you get the Q&A and the follow-up materials; the replay is published here afterward.
What do MACS webinars cover?+
Working sessions on the ARC-PA standards that give PA programs the most trouble — so far the Section C program-evaluation standards: the five self-study questions of C1.01 and the faculty and staff sufficiency case of C1.02. Sessions are taught by MACS consultants using real, anonymized program data, and future sessions follow the same pattern: one standard or problem, worked in depth.
How do I find a specific moment in a replay?+
Each replay page has chapter buttons that jump the embedded player to that section in place, a written summary of every chapter, and a full transcript with timestamps. If the in-page player is unavailable, chapter links open YouTube at the same timestamp.
Will I get a copy of the slides?+
Slide decks are not distributed, but everything in them is on each replay page in more usable form: the recording itself, chapter navigation, written chapter summaries, and the full transcript. Live-session registrants also receive the recording by email after the session.
How do I hear about the next live session?+
Upcoming sessions are announced on this page and in the monthly MACS Insights email. Subscribe on the Insights page to get the next invitation, or check back here — registration details appear in the Upcoming Session section as soon as a date is set.
