Le Moyne's PA program is where care meets compassion. Students benefit from a strong curriculum during the first year, known as the didactic year, and outstanding clinical experiences during the second year.
Didactic Year:
The didactic curriculum reflects the overarching philosophy of the entire program -- the bio-psycho-social approach to patient care. Case review and analysis sharpens clinical skills in a safe learning environment. Lectures, seminars and discussion groups are blended with laboratory exercises and “hands-on” physical examination skills to round out the first year experience.
Le Moyne is one of only a handful of PA programs that presents medical humanities courses as integral to training. In conjunction with evidence-based medicine skill acquisition, self-directed learning and resource utilization, the Le Moyne graduate learns to care for the whole person. Community service learning moves the student from the classroom to the neighborhoods to facilitate an even greater, deeper understanding of the human condition in the “real world.”
Clinical Year:
The 12-month clinical curriculum is comprised of nine rotations that include experiences in: medicine, primary care, pediatrics, women's health/ambulatory care, surgery, emergency medicine, behavioral medicine, and two electives in either a surgical or medical specialty.
Multiple sites are utilized and multiple specialties are represented. Each rotation examines the concepts of “health and wellness” in various settings and in ways uniquely sensitive to the prevailing cultural climate.
