Physician Assistant Clinical Clerkships - Manchester/Worcester
Clinical clerkships are integral to the Physician Assistant Studies program at MCPHS-Manchester and Worcester. It is during this phase that students apply and improve their clinical and patient management skills. Clinical sites are located throughout the United States but are concentrated in northern New England. Students are encouraged to choose rural health facilities for a portion of their clinical experience. In addition, professional seminars are held on campus after each rotation. Students are responsible for transportation and housing.
Each clinical clerkship lasts five weeks.
A number of clerkships in the required curriculum may be scheduled 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.
