1. Professional Development
2. Foundational Sciences
3. Clinical Nutrition
4. Clinical Skills
5. Clinical Medicine
6. Clinical Rotations
7. Research

The series is fast-paced and systems-based, allowing the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of a pathology to be taught within the same academic semester, while concomitantly integrating evidence-based medicine throughout the curriculum.

College course credit (i.e. advanced placement) cannot be applied toward the following courses. All courses required for fulfillment of the degree in physician assistant practice must be taken in the established sequence.

Graduate Project

The Master of Physician Assistant Practice degree will require each student to complete a graduate project as partial fulfillment of a graduate degree. The Evidence-Based Research course series (I-III) is designed to prepare students with the skills to appraise evidence and to write scientifically.

Clinical Education Plan

Students will complete 15 months of didactic training prior to entering 12 months of supervised clinical experience in seven required clinical specialties, one specialty selective, and two general selective rotations. The final semester of didactic training is designed to transition the PA student from the classroom to the clinical setting. Problem-based learning, scenarios, case studies, and simulations will be strategically integrated throughout the second spring semester in order to prepare students for the critical thinking necessary for optimal patient care.

Clinical Rotations

The clinical phase of the 黑料视频 Physician Assistant Program provides immersive, hands-on learning experiences that prepare students for entry into clinical practice. Under the supervision of qualified preceptors, students apply their didactic knowledge to real-world patient care across a variety of healthcare environments. Each rotation is designed to strengthen clinical reasoning, patient interaction, and interprofessional collaboration while promoting adaptability in diverse healthcare settings.

Diverse Clinical Settings

During the clinical year, students participate in rotations across a wide range of environments, including:

• Large academic and community medical centers
• Urban and rural primary-care clinics
• Specialty practices such as women鈥檚 health, behavioral health, pediatrics, and surgery

These diverse experiences expose students to patients of all ages, backgrounds, and health conditions, and help them develop the skills required to practice effectively as members of interprofessional healthcare teams.

Travel Requirements

The Director of Clinical Education assigns all sites to ensure a balanced, high-quality learning experience that meets accreditation requirements, course learning outcomes, and site availability.

Students are expected to travel for their clinical education experiences:

• Most rotation sites are located within approximately 200 miles of the Dublin Campus, both in Ohio and outside of the state.
• Some assignments may occur at sites more than 200 miles away, which could result in the need to incur airline travel expenses.
• Students should plan to travel these distances for at least 50 percent of their clinical rotations.

Financial Responsibilities

Students are responsible for all expenses related to clinical rotations, including:

• Travel and transportation
• Housing or temporary lodging
• Meals and personal costs

The program encourages students to include these expenses in their overall educational financial planning.

Site Assignment Policy

Clinical sites and preceptors are arranged by the program.

Students are not required to provide or solicit their own clinical sites or preceptors.
