Each rotation is 1 month long, except for the Primary Care
Preceptorship — the final rotation — which lasts 6 weeks. Here's a link to the
Rotation
Calendar for the 2006-2007 academic year.
Call Barb Williams, the Clinical Resource Associate, at
540-224-4538. Denise Dillingham, the Clinical Coordinator, is at 540-985-8376. The main
PA number is 540-985-4016.
The preceptor's evaluations count 30% of the final grade; of
this part of the grade, the mid-rotation evaluation
counts 1/5 and the end-of-rotation evaluation counts 4/5. It
is the student's responsibility to see that those evaluations are done and discussed
with the preceptor. The rest of the grade is made up of PA faculty evaluation of
written and oral case presentations, student work on site visits as reviewed by
PA faculty, a written examination, and other work submitted by the student to
the program. The grading system is that of the College as published in the
catalog:
