医师助理计划

People who succeed as physician assistants enjoy direct patient contact, 对医学有热情, 拥抱挑战. Physician assistants practice medicine with physician supervision in many settings and in many medical and surgical disciplines.

The Department of Physician Assistant Studies at 上州医科大学 was developed in 2009 as a result of the health care needs of Central New York. As reported by the Health Resources and Service Administration, fourteen of the seventeen counties encompassing the Central New York corridor from Canada to Pennsylvania are designated as health provider shortage areas. The need for physician assistant services in these communities is documented by these designated medically underserved communities.

The mission of the 医师助理计划 is to educate highly qualified physician assistants with patient centered values who practice medicine confidently and ethically by demonstrating academic excellence and clinical competence. Our emphasis is on serving the rural and medically underserved populations throughout New York State.

A unique feature of our training program is the design of the clinical year of training; the remaining 12 months consist of 11 four-week clinical rotations where students practice medicine in a supervised medical setting with clinical preceptors whose primary medical or surgical practice is located within that community. Students live in an assigned medically underserved community in 推荐最近最火的赌博软件 New York for 12 months, completing all clinical rotations in that designated region.

In 2010, 2011年和2015年, the PA Program was awarded four Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grants, 共计4.500万美元. These grants have supported program expansion, 学生奖学金, high fidelity simulation equipment and enhancement of clinical training.
