Physician Assistant Clinical Clerkships - Boston

Clinical clerkships are integral to the MPAS program at MCPHS-Boston. During these experiences, students apply and reinforce their clinical and patient management skills. The breadth of clinical settings offers the future physician assistant the ability to acquire familiarity, skills and competencies in a variety of settings.

Beginning in the first summer session following the second professional year, each student completes a series of required clinical clerkships which capitalize on the extensive educational resources at the College, the Longwood Medical and Academic Area, and in health care institutions throughout New England.

Learning experiences occur in ambulatory, hospital-based and long-term care settings. PA students are not responsible for identifying or arranging their own clinical sites. The PA Program has established affiliations throughout the state to provide clinical educational experiences to students. Clerkships in the required curriculum, however, may be schedule at some distance from the campus. This is necessary to provide a range of diverse learning experiences and ensure availability and quality of clinical rotation sites. Students are responsible for providing their own transportation to and from the sites.
