What type of patient contact will I receive during the preclinical phase of training?
Within the first two months of starting PA school, students spend time, almost every week, rotating on the wards (performing histories and physicals), in the operating room (observing, then participating as appropriate) or observing specialty care in affiliate institutions including NewYork Hospital. Students greatly appreciate the ability to apply their new skills in a real environment. Students are observed and receive faculty feedback to improve their skills.
