ARC-PA 6^th ed Standard A3.03

The student is not considered an employee of any clinical affiliate and should not be a substitute for or assume the responsibilities of regular staff. If the student is concerned about the duties assigned by the clinical site, the DCE should be contacted immediately by phone or email.

Typical patient-related care and tasks a clinical year PA student may be permitted to perform listed below and serve as guidelines only. The student must demonstrate a baseline of medical knowledge and clinical skills. However, students come to the program with various life experiences, affecting their comfort level when performing specific tasks. How much clinical responsibility the student is ready to assume, the nature of the particular task assigned, and how much supervision is required is at the discretion of the preceptor.

Patient-related care includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Evaluating and treating patients
• Charting and appropriate paperwork (paper or electronic)
• Case presentations
• Discussions with preceptor
• Other duties as applicable (lab, radiology, case management, grand rounds, tumor board, etc.)

Typical tasks assigned to the PA student include:

• Taking histories and performing physical examinations
• Assessing common medical problems and recommending appropriate management
• Performing and assisting in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures
• Appropriately documenting findings
  • If the student has access to EMR, findings must be documented in the patient record and must be co-signed by the preceptor in the patient record
  • If the student does not have access to EMR, then the student must chart a 鈥渟hadow note鈥� separate from the patient鈥檚 record. The note will not be removed from the site and must be reviewed with the preceptor. As a reminder, preceptors are asked to evaluate the student鈥檚 documentation on the Preceptor Evaluation of Student at the end of each SCPE.
• Following protocols or standing orders of the preceptor
• Presenting patient cases orally and/or in written problem-oriented format
• Discussing the basic pathophysiologic mechanisms that have produced the signs, symptoms, and disease processes under investigation
• Completing assigned teaching rounds and conferences
• Following the assigned on-call schedule

It is mandatory that EVERY patient MUST be seen by the preceptor, without exception!

The student will deliver needed care to patients regardless of race, age, gender, creed, socioeconomic status, political persuasion, sexual preference, or national origin.
