Policy for Utilization of PA Students at SCPE Sites

ARC-PA 6th ed Standard A3.02, A3.03, A3.04, A3.14i

  1. The GWU PA student is strictly prohibited from being utilized as a substitute for clinical or administrative staff. Should a student be assigned clerical duties or duties outside of the direct practice of medicine, they should notify the program immediately for guidance to address the matter or reassignment at the discretion of the DCE.
  2. It is strongly recommended that students do not rotate with their personal healthcare providers as preceptors. Also, students may rotate at a facility in which a family member works, but students will not be placed with a family member who serves as a primary preceptor.
