MPAS 5230

The Skilled Clinician III course is the final course in the 3-term Skilled Clinician Curriculum (runs across Year 1 of the MPAS program). The Skilled Clinician III curriculum provides the final integration of clinical skills before the PA student transitions to clinical rotations. PA students will integrate information gathered in the clinical setting from patient interviews, physical examinations, diagnostic results, and patient management plans into a concise patient presentation and well documented clinical encounter. Students will continue to have hands-on experiences, enabling students to become increasingly proficient in various procedures. Content covered in Skilled Clinician III aligns with concurrent Medical Foundations III and Professional Competencies III curriculum addressing dermatology, cardiology, respirology, nephrology, geriatrics, oncology, and palliative care patient assessment and management.
