PAS 691/692/693: Selective I/II/III: Surgery / Medicine (4.0 credit hours)
This required 4-week supervised clinical practice experience under the supervision of the clinical site preceptor is designed to provide students with the opportunity to select a SCPE in a surgery or medicine discipline of interest. Students apply knowledge and skills learned during the Didactic phase of the program to novel patient encounters. These learning experiences enable students to achieve the program’s Clinical Phase Learning Outcomes. Student learning is assessed primarily with the clinical preceptor evaluation of student performance, an assignment, and a presentation.
Pre-requisite(s): Successful completion of all Didactic Phase courses (PAS 506, PAS 507, PAS 501, PAS 502, PAS 503, PAS 511, PAS 512, PAS 513, PAS 531, PAS 532, PAS 533, PAS 541, PAS 542, and PAS 543) and the Didactic Phase Cumulative Assessment (written examination, simulated patient encounter, physical examination skills assessment, and clinical procedures skills assessment).
