Fall 2026 · PA 0309 · Tufts University · 4 credits · Undergraduate

This Elective Supervised Clinical Practical Experience (SCPE) is designed to provide the student with the knowledge and skills in an area of interest. Students will gain an understanding of the variety of problems encountered in a medical or surgical sub-specialty discipline. The understanding of the varied medical and/or surgical sub-specialty problems is accomplished through history taking, physical exam, interpretation of diagnostic testing, and the development of a plan for each presenting problem including pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic management. In addition to gaining clinical skills specific to the specialty of the rotation, the student will also continue to develop skills in medical problem solving and patient management. Elective rotation sites are chosen based on practice characteristics that are important for the PA student within this rotation. These may include practice location, patient populations, and availability of specific experiences and procedures.
