DPAM-6535 Elective Clerkship
The 4-week long Elective Supervised Clinical Practice Experiences (SCPE) will enable students to meet program expectations and acquire the competencies needed for clinical PA practice. SCPE encounters will include patient care related to acute, chronic, and preventive medical need. Students can choose to complete this clerkship in any medical or surgical specialty. International rotations are available to students after successfully completing two domestic SCPEs. The international option provides one week of preparation, one week of clinic work in a medically underserved nation, one week for debriefing, and one week for student presentations related to the experience. Students will be responsible for the additional costs associated with the international option.
