The Physician Assistant Program is offered by the affiliate college
or university offering your degree program. Your college/university
program director will determine and develop the course work and
laboratory experiences for the program and make arrangements for
clinical rotations.
Your rotations at Mayo Clinic in Arizona will include physician
assistant experiences in:
- General Surgery
- Urology
- Cardiology
- Internal Medicine
- Orthopedics
Grading or Evaluation
Evaluation of student performance in each rotation includes the
preceptor(s) evaluation of clinical performance, a written examination
of cognitive performance and, where appropriate and possible, a
site visit by program faculty.
Successful completion of all clinical rotations, program seminars,
activities and the program summative exam is required for graduation.
Mayo School of Health Sciences uses evaluative tools that include:
- Written examination
- Demonstration of skills
- Self-assessment exercises
- Faculty reviews
Our system of evaluation provides students and faculty with a comprehensive
look at individual performance, allowing students who are experiencing
academic difficulty to be directed to appropriate support resources,
including tutoring programs and counseling opportunities.
Curriculum Enhancements
Mayo School of Health Sciences is committed to developing and maintaining
the very best education programs. Changes may be made to the curriculum
and other aspects of this program as necessary to assure the highest-quality
training.
