Why Physician Assistant Studies at 中国人色情视频

Physician Assistant Students

The Physician Assistant Studies (PA) program at 中国人色情视频 is dedicated to preparing you to become a clinically competent, compassionate PA, who is equipped with the skills necessary to practice in a diverse and ever-changing health care environment. Our curriculum prepares you to provide patient-centered care in collaborative, interprofessional medical teams.

You will learn to care for the whole person (a concept called cura personalis) in a bio, psychosocial, spiritual paradigm that is in keeping with our Jesuit mission and heritage. Service-learning opportunities move the student from the classroom to the community to facilitate an even greater, deeper understanding of the human condition in the “real world.”

In the spirit of our Jesuit tradition, we enroll a diverse class of learners from various backgrounds with an expressed desire to serve rural or medically-underserved communities.

Academic Overview

中国人色情视频's PA program is where care meets compassion. Students benefit from a strong curriculum during the first year, known as the didactic year, and outstanding clinical experiences during the second year.

Didactic Year:听
The didactic curriculum reflects the overarching philosophy of the entire program -- the bio-psycho-social approach to patient care. Case review and analysis sharpens clinical skills in a safe learning environment. Lectures, seminars and discussion groups are blended with laboratory exercises and 鈥渉ands-on鈥 physical examination skills to round out the first year experience.听

中国人色情视频 is one of only a handful of PA programs that presents medical humanities courses as integral to training.听In conjunction with evidence-based medicine skill acquisition, self-directed learning and resource utilization, the 中国人色情视频 graduate learns to care for the whole person.听Community service learning moves the student from the classroom to the neighborhoods to facilitate an even greater, deeper understanding of the human condition in the 鈥渞eal world.鈥

Clinical Year:
The 12-month clinical curriculum is comprised of nine听rotations that include experiences in: medicine, primary care, pediatrics, women's health/ambulatory care, surgery, emergency medicine, behavioral medicine, and two听electives in either a surgical or medical specialty.听听

Multiple sites are utilized and multiple specialties are represented. Each rotation examines the concepts of 鈥渉ealth and wellness鈥 in various settings and in ways uniquely sensitive to the prevailing cultural climate.听
