During this clinical course, second year PA students develop skills necessary to function as a PA in the pediatric setting. Students will apply medical knowledge and clinical skills developed during didactic phase of their education. Students will actively engage in assessment, analysis, evidence-based approaches, and management of conditions typically seen in the pediatric setting. The rotation will emphasize preventative, acute, and chronic encounters for patients ranging from neonates to adolescents. The student will be exposed to both ill-child and well-child visits to ensure exposure to developmental milestones and growth. Students will work with the clinical education team and under the supervision of their preceptor(s) to provide care.
