PAC 6501 - Formative Experience

Hours: 2

This course is designed to assess the student’s progression in meeting program competencies and preparedness to enter clinical rotations. Students are assessed (Pass/Fail) on all program competencies through knowledge tests, OSCEs, and skill stations. Students must demonstrate a minimum competency in all domains to pass the course; however, the primary focus is to identify each student’s areas of strength and weakness to allow remediation activities to occur prior to entering the clinical phase of the program. Additionally, any health systems’ onboarding required to enter clinical rotations are covered. Prerequisite: Successful completion of PA didactic coursework.
