PAS 6006 Women's Health Clerkship

The five-week clerkship course in women's health provides an opportunity to apply the principles learned in the didactic curriculum. Students are assigned to a women's health patient care team in which they are exposed to women's health issues including prenatal and gynecologic care. Emphasis is placed on data gathering, differential diagnosis, patient management, maintenance of medical records, performance of diagnostic and therapeutic skills, follow up care and the provision of health education and counseling. The student will learn the value of an interdisciplinary approach to patient centered care and gain an appreciation for the role a PA may play in a women's health setting.
