The advanced clinical phase rotations are completed following successful completion of the seven core clinical rotations. These rotations are completed in sites developed by the PA Program and affiliates, and are in Georgia and other sites throughout the country. Students can complete a portion of their elective rotations in sites they have identified and requested. During this phase, students wishing to rotate through sites outside of those developed by the Program must first obtain permission from the Program. Before a student may begin such a rotation, the Program must evaluate and approve the site, and an Affiliation Agreement between the site and Emory University must be negotiated and approved by the Program Director and the Dean’s office of the School of Medicine. Further information is available on rotation policy from the Program's Clinical Coordinators. These are the courses offered during the advanced clinical or elective phase:
