PAS 7070 - Family Medicine

During the family medicine core rotation, students will apply didactic knowledge to the hands-on provision of patient care. Students are expected to integrate knowledge obtained during the first year of the PA program to take histories, perform physical examinations, suggest and interpret appropriate diagnostic studies, observe and perform clinical procedures, develop treatment plans, and counsel/educate patients regarding these plans under the supervision of their clinical preceptor. Supervised clinical practice experiences may occur with pediatric, adult, or elderly patients seeking care for preventive purposes or to address acute, chronic, urgent, or emergent conditions, most commonly in the outpatient setting.
