The clinical phase of the physician assistant program is 40 weeks. Each student is required to progress through eight required rotations: Adult Medicine I and II, Family Medicine, Surgery, Behavioral Medicine, Pediatrics, Women's Health, and Emergency Medicine. Each of these rotations is two to four weeks long. Additionally, each student must complete two rotations of selected electives from disciplines such as orthopedics, ENT, dermatology, and others. The clinical education is taught by physicians and physician assistants. Each student is evaluated by his or her preceptor for the designated rotation. Students return to KCMA for testing as well as didactic and clinical skill workshops.
-
2.50 Credits
An elective clinical experience outside the contiguous U.S. borders, preferably in an underserved area. This rotation is recommended for those students who have an interest in serving outside the U.S. contiguous borders in short-term or long-term medical missions after graduation. Prerequisite: HEPR 375 Cultural Diversity in Health Care
-
1.00 Credits
Students work one-on-one with assigned faculty to develop and pursue directed learning experiences in various aspects of allied health, including management, education, research, and other areas of interest. In consultation with a faculty advisor, a student will have the opportunity to apply program competencies by developing this learning experience into a project of excellence reflecting the student's specific interests and strengths. Prerequisite: HEPR 410 Health care Statistics and Research
-
2.00 Credits
Provides each student the opportunity to present results of their individual capstone project or research topic, to synthesize previous study and work experience, and to demonstrate an understanding of the program and profession's principles. Prerequisite: HEPR 410 Health Care Statistics and Research and PHAS 635 Directed Study.
-
4.00 Credits
A series of lectures and demonstrations covering mechanics, fluids, heat, sound, light, electricity, and atomic physics. The emphasis is on understanding natural phenomena with medical applications.
