PAMS 6550 Internal Medicine Inpatient

This core clinical rotation provides students with exposure to the principles and practice of inpatient internal medicine. This supervised clinical practice experience enables students to assess patients seeking medical care across the life span with an emphasis on caring for the acutely and chronically ill adult and elderly patient in the inpatient setting.  Students will assist in the evaluation and treatment of hospital patients, participate in patient rounds and presentations, and learn how to function as part of the internal medicine and interprofessional medical teams.  This supervised clinical practice experience will enable students to achieve the learning outcomes needed to attain the competencies in the management of acute, emergent, chronic conditions, and implement preventive care strategies. This clinical experience will enable the student to provide care as an entry level physician assistant upon graduation.
