PAS 612 - Selective Rotation I
Cr Hrs: 4
The clinical year is made up of seven 4-week core rotations that include: Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, OB/GYN, Emergency Medicine, General Surgery and Behavioral Health. The clinical year also includes two 4-week selective rotations as well as two 4-week elective rotations. A “Selective” is a student selected clinical placement, which is meant to help further the goals and objectives to better prepare the student for transition to clinical practice. It differs from an Elective in that Electives generally are not aligned with a specific course or curriculum such as Family or Internal Medicine. In this case, students are using the clinical placements of Selectives to gain in-depth experiences in the concepts of primary care. These are places for students to receive mentorship, guidance, and new experiences as they are about to embark into clinical practice. They will be 4 weeks in length. Selectives are mandatory experiences that Students must complete in order to graduate. They are as important as any other form of clinical experience that occurs during the PA Program. Selective rotation selections must be reviewed and approved by the Director of Clinical Education.
