PAS 7030 - Primary Care Logitudinal SCPE IV


This is the fourth of five (5) courses in which students build upon the knowledge and refine the skills learned in the other courses of the didactic year of the program in a clinical practice environment. This course is designed to provide the student with the basic knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to build a solid foundation for the evaluation, documentation, diagnosis and treatment of problems common in the primary care setting.  The focus of the course is spent with a physician, physician assistant, and/or nurse practitioner preceptor in a primary care setting and to observe the longitudinal clinical care provided to a consistent patient population over time. Through supervised exposure to patients in a primary care environment, the student is given the opportunity to apply, integrate, and affirm those skills necessary for becoming a certified physician assistant. The student will provide medical care to patients across the lifespan, to include infants, children, adolescents, adults and the elderly who present with acute and chronic health conditions and require preventive care. Emphasis is placed on the evaluation and management of primary care medical problems. Patient education and counseling are stressed, and the student is familiarized with the role of the physician assistant in a general practice setting.
