3 Credit Hours
The supervised clinical practice in Pediatric Medicine is designed to prepare a student to function in an ambulatory setting in a role appropriate to a primary care physician assistant (PA) [Standard B3.04].

Students will be able to evaluate/assess patients involving one or more of the following types of encounters: preventative, emergent, acute, or chronic. [Standard B3.02]. Each student will be given the opportunity to apply knowledge and skills learned in the didactic program as s/he is exposed to patients seeking medical care across the life span, including infants, children, and adolescents [Standard B3.03]. Dependent on the patient population of the practice, the student may also encounter patients seeking care for conditions requiring behavioral and mental health conditions [Standard B3.03].
