The 12-month clinical phase is where learners will engage in well over 1600 hours of supervised clinical practice experiences (SCPEs) nationwide. Learners participate in seven core SCPEs: Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, and Adolescent Care. Women’s Health and Prenatal Care, Behavioral and Mental Health, Emergency Medicine, and two elective SCPEs (all SCPEs are five weeks long). Prospective and current learners are not required to provide or solicit clinical sites or preceptors. 

At the end of each SCPE, learners return to the program and participate in a two-day Clinical Seminar. Clinical Seminar activities include an end of SCPE examination, OSCE, focused NCCPA board review with case discussions, a NCCPA-type practice exam, professional workshops, and round table discussions on topics regarding PA practice, population, and community health issues.
