PAS 663 Supervised Clinical Practice Experience III
In the clinical phase of the PA Program, students are assigned into a series of supervised clinical practice experiences (SCPE) in a variety of settings on a rotating schedule. The supervised clinical practice experiences are divided into 8 periods of approximately 6 weeks each. Required 6-week experiences include Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and General Surgery. Experiences in Women’s Health, Pediatrics, and Behavioral Health are required 3-week experiences that may be integrated throughout the clinical experiences. Elective rotations are available in a variety of clinical practice areas, pending preceptor/site availability and prior rotation experience. Electives can be in a new discipline or an augmentation of a required discipline. Students are to average 45 hours a week at the clinical experiences. The Program reserves the right to assign rotations or supplemental activities to ensure that students meet all Program requirements for the supervised clinical practice experiences.
See PAS 661 for a description of each required supervised clinical practice experience (SCPE) discipline.
