PAS 6370 SUPERVISED CLINICAL PRACTICE EXPERIENCE: AMBULATORY CARE

This 4-week supervised clinical practice experience provides the student with practical experience in the medical care of patients across the lifespan in the outpatient setting. Under the supervision of a clinical preceptor, the student will apply knowledge gained in the didactic phase to actual care of patients as a member of the interdisciplinary health care team. The emphasis of this experience will be on the coordination and collaboration of medical care and students will become familiar with the diagnosis, treatment and management of the patients in an ambulatory care setting. Students will participate in the medical care of the patients and will be evaluated on the knowledge, skills and behaviors expected of a PA student member of the healthcare team in an ambulatory care setting.
