PAS 660 - Senior Seminar: A Capstone Curriculum 2 Credit Hours
The senior seminar/capstone course is designed as a culmination of the didactic and the clinical curriculum leading to a Masters of Medical Science in physician assistant studies at Dominican University. This course is a review of important areas of medicine that are seminal to PA practice, including an NCCPA board review of topics in pharmacology, dermatology, cardiology, EENT, pulmonology, hematology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, urology, nephrology, neurology, infectious disease, pediatrics, psychiatry, musculoskeletal system/orthopedics, obstetrics, and gynecology, plus test taking techniques and strategies. Additionally, capstone activities include lectures on advising patients on Medicare Part D, mandatory reporting laws and legal issues, medical liability, interacting with the pharmaceutical industry as a practicing clinician, common prescribing errors and medication safety, professional licensure, DEA, and personal finances. Small group activities address coding and ethical cases in clinical practice. PA graduate panels present career strategies, pearls to survive the first 90 days on the job, and alumni opportunities. Student feedback and pre- and post-test data provide on-going information for course evaluation.
