Curriculum

Year Two - Clinical Rotations

The clinical learning phase is 12 months in length with more than 2,000 hours of patient care. Eight clinical learning rotations, each six weeks in length, are conducted at a variety of clinical sites.

Assignment of Clinical Rotations

All clinical rotations are arranged by the Clinical Coordination Team. Students are assigned only to approved clinical sites. Student requests for rotations at specific sites, that are not already approved, will be considered if the site files the necessary application and supporting data and becomes approved by the USF PA Program. Students must complete at least two rural rotations during the clinical year.

International rotations may be available for the elective rotation. The program cannot guarantee the availability nor the scheduling of international rotations.
