PAS 8001 FAMILY MEDICINE (3)

The Family Medicine clinical rotation (SCPE) is four weeks long. Learners will be immersed in the clinical rotation, where they will have the opportunity to apply and enhance the knowledge and skills gained during the didactic phase of your training.  This hands-on experience places you in a supervised setting where you will actively evaluate, treat, and educate patients with common diseases and disorders seen in the family medicine outpatient setting (B3.03b, B3.04c). Learners will further enhance their abilities in taking comprehensive and focused patient histories, conducting comprehensive and focused physical examinations, ordering and interpreting laboratory/diagnostic tests, synthesizing information to make a diagnosis, devising and executing cost-effective treatment plans, and emphasizing patient education. During your SCPE, you will perform procedures as listed in your syllabus, which coincides with the evaluation by the preceptor. The prerequisite is the successful completion of the didactic year.
