Abstrakt:	Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate clinical faculty perceptions of online learning in health professions education. Methods: Clinical faculty members from various health professions programs in New York were surveyed to determine whether there was a relationship between clinical faculty members' attitudes toward online learning competencies and their ability to teach online. Additionally, this study explored what type of impact years of teaching experience and online training had on clinical faculty perceptions of online learning. Results: The study received 60 responses from clinical faculty, most of whom were teaching on Long Island, New York. Although the findings were not significant for most variables, a t -test demonstrated a significant statistical difference between online training and faculty perceptions of online learning. When clinical faculty completed online training, they had a more positive attitude toward online learning. The study also found that clinical faculty members' attitudes toward technology in online learning positively influenced their ability to troubleshoot technical issues in online environments. Years of online teaching experience did not affect how clinical faculty perceived online learning; however, clinical faculty with 1-5 years and 6-10 years of teaching experience rated their attitudes and abilities the lowest out of all the groups. Discussion: While there appears to be a correlation between faculty perceptions of online learning and online training, more research is needed to objectively determine which specific trainings would be most advantageous. Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest. (Copyright © 2023 Physician Assistant Education Association.)
