What types of lab sessions are included in the preclinical year?
A highlight of the preclinical year is the cadaver dissection. Here, small groups of PA students learn anatomy by dissection under the tutelage of the Anatomy department faculty. There are also clinical skills labs where bedside procedures are taught, including wound care, venous access, bladder catheters, etc. Students learn Physical Diagnosis skills using a PA student partner as well as professional models and simulators.
