Under the guidance of experienced preceptors, students engage in patient encounters, conduct physical examinations, and participate in the management of acute and chronic conditions. These rotations provide students with a solid foundation in primary care, which is essential for their future practice as physician assistants.
Specialty Rotations
In addition to primary care, students also rotate through various specialty areas, including pediatrics, surgery, emergency medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, and psychiatry. These rotations expose students to different medical specialties, allowing them to gain a broad understanding of the healthcare field and explore their interests.
During specialty rotations, students have the opportunity to observe and participate in procedures, assist in surgeries, and manage patients with specific medical conditions. These experiences enhance their clinical skills and prepare them to work in a variety of healthcare settings.
