Clinical Phase
Once students have
successfully completed the didactic phase they begin clinical rotations.
In this phase of their education, students must complete seven required and
five elective rotations. On each rotation, students work with resident or
attending physicians and graduate physician assistants to learn aspects of
clinical medicine and surgery. They are expected to take advantage of all
rounds, conferences, and clinics offered by the service on which they are
rotating. Students are certified in Basic Life Support prior to clinical
rotations. An opportunity for Certification in Advanced Cardiac Life Support
is also provided prior to graduation.
