Program Description:
The PA Clinical Rotation in Dingle is open to second year Physician Assistant students.  The global health clinical rotation in Dingle will provide students with the opportunity for multilevel global health clinical learning, with an emphasis on cultural competence and interdisciplinary learning. Participants will engage in rotations at a local hospital.  The goals of this internship program are designed to support and are aligned with the learning objectives and outcomes of the academic component designed by Sacred Heart University that accompanies this program. This program is a four week program offered in September and October for SHU students interested in pursuing a degree in health care. The program offers the opportunity for program participants to further enhance their preparation for a career in medicine. Students will live in en suite accommodations in a house with access to a shared kitchen to prepare meals, participate in a variety of weekly activities, have time to explore on their own, while performing clinical rotations in a local hospital environment under the supervision of an assigned doctor.

 
Program The Global Health Programs aim to expose our students to global health issues, cultural awareness and competence, social justice and healthcare development for disadvantaged communities in the United States and abroad through service learning healthcare programs.  Our service learning approach envelopes our academic programs with community service in combination with critical, reflective thinking.  Our intention is to serve targeted community needs based on assessments with local leaders; collaborate with the local community; and integrate our programs into our health professions curriculum. 

Physician Assistant Program
By the end of the Global Health Clinical Rotation, the PA student will be able to
  1. Describe the social determinants of health in the area and their effect on the health status of the patients, families, and communities.
