1 STANFORD PCAP SCHOOL OF MEDICINE PRIMARY CARE ASSOCIATE PROGRAM Program Mission The mission of the Primary Care Associate Program is: To educate PAs for clinical practice in primary care and medically underserved communities in California To increase the enrollment and deployment of underrepresented minorities To respond to the needs of our communities and stakeholders, including Stanford Medical Center The Primary Care Associate Program (PCAP) is administered cooperatively by Stanford University School of Medicine and Foothill College, although Stanford is the sole sponsor for the program s accreditation. Established in 1971, the program prepares physician assistants (PAs) to provide primary health care services with physician supervision. The curriculum also includes training in hospitals and subspecialties. Graduates earn a Certificate of Clinical Proficiency from the Stanford University School of Medicine. Degree completion options are available.

2 2 Description of the Program The Stanford Primary Care Associate Program curriculum is based on principles of adult learning and community based education. The accelerated 16 month curriculum is designed for students with considerable prior health care experience. After the first fall quarter of didactic education, students learn in clinical sites in their home communities for three weeks/month and attend classes on campus one week/month. (Quarters 2 5, San Diego satellite students have approximately one class week/quarter in San Diego ). This curriculum design allows students to immediately apply didactic content in clinical practice. The didactic curriculum is structured on a body system model and is iterative in design. The first fall quarter provides a solid foundation of basic medical sciences, clinical medicine lectures, pharmacotherapeutics, information literacy, history taking/communication skills, physical exam skills, critical thinking applications and cultural medicine. From the 2nd through 5th quarters, students are placed in primary care preceptorships and rotations: Program Admissions Application packets for classes beginning in September 2008 must be postmarked by October 1, All applications received by the deadline are prescreened to make sure that the clinical and academic prerequisites have been met. Complete applications are then reviewed by the Admissions Committee. Based on this review, selected applicants are invited for interviews. Candidates invited for interviews will be asked to provide a writing sample. Final admission decisions are made shortly after interviews are conducted. Frequently, the most competitive applicants are those that have surpassed the minimum academic and clinical requirements. All applicants will receive written notification of the results of their application. Confidentiality issues prohibit giving feedback by telephone. Application packets can be downloaded from our web site. 17 weeks minimum family medicine/internal medicine preceptorships 6 weeks pediatrics* 6 weeks OB/GYN* 3 weeks inpatient rotation 2 weeks surgery rotation 2 weeks emergency medicine rotation *may be incorporated into primary care preceptorships or may be separate rotations Each student is required to spend a minimum of 20 clinical days in medically underserved sites, with a concentration on either urban or rural medicine. The Primary Care Associate Program offers a curriculum that emphasizes community based clinical education in combination with didactic classes. Much of the clinical education takes place in the office of a preceptor a practicing physician who teaches the student during the course of his/her clinical practice. The PCA Program has the responsibility for arranging the clinical instruction and supervision of each student, including identifying and supplying preceptors. Students are encouraged to seek out compatible primary care physician preceptors in their home communities, however students are not required to do so. The program must approve each clinical site and retains the responsibility for student training and evaluation. Preceptorship sites are located throughout California. Applicants from community satellites, if accepted into the program, must complete preceptorships in their designated satellite county. Academic Prerequisites All required coursework must be documented as being completed on an official transcript from a United States school, college or university possessing "institutional accreditation" by one of the following six regional associations: Western Association (WASC Junior and Senior), Middle States Association (MSA), Northwest Association (NASC), North Central Association (NCA), Southern Association (SACS CC), and New England Association (NEASC-CIHE and CTCI) of Schools and Colleges.
3 The institution must be accredited at the time the coursework was completed. All prior coursework will be considered regardless of the year in which the course was taken. All high school coursework submitted to meet program prerequisites must be completed in the United States. Except for meeting the program and GE prerequisites, advanced placement, transfer of credit, or credit for experiential learning are not permitted because of the integrative structure of the curriculum. Institutions that have specialized, professional or single mission types of accreditation (often held by trade, technical, vocational, occupational or military schools) will need to be reviewed by Foothill College to determine whether such credits will be acceptable. Candidates with chiropractic and naturopathic degrees often need to fulfill Foothill College s General Education (GE) requirements, unless they possess a degree from an accredited institution. Courses offered through the United States military must be credited by a regionally accredited institution. Official transcripts from all regionally accredited institutions attended must be included in the application packet; therefore, request them at least a month in advance. Applicants who expect to receive their Associate s degree or higher before the end of the Spring term of the application year must include a letter from a school evaluator or counselor verifying degree candidacy in the application packet. Applicants expecting to receive their first academic degree are strongly encouraged to complete these requirements by the application deadline. Applicants who expect to obtain the Associate of Science degree from Foothill College upon completion of our program are required to complete the General Education requirements, unless they have a Bachelor s degree or higher from a regionally accredited institution. To facilitate the admissions process for those needing to fulfill the General Education requirements, we recommend that a Foothill College counselor evaluate your transcripts prior to applying. An applicant is allowed a maximum of three (3) courses in progress or lacking at the time of the application deadline, but a maximum of two (2) classes may be in progress or lacking after January This includes courses for academic (program and general education) prerequisites for admission and all degree requirements for applicants expecting their first academic degree before the end of the Spring term of the application year. Proof of registration for all courses in progress or lacking and, subsequently, the transcripts showing the final grades must be submitted to the admissions office as soon as possible. Grades for Microbiology, Anatomy and Physiology must be submitted by the end of the Fall term. No exceptions. For combined Human Anatomy and Physiology (A&P) classes, a full academic year curriculum is required. All coursework for A&P must total at least 12 quarter units or 8 semester units. Applicants who do not meet the minimum unit requirements or who completed A&P more than 10 years ago are strongly encouraged to retake the full year curriculum of A&P. It is recommended that applicants complete courses beyond the minimum requirements for English and Math because of the need for strong analytical and communication skills. For example, we encourage applicants to complete a general statistics course and take English 1B. substitutions that do not include the scope or information covered in the above classes will not be accepted. If you have any questions regarding academic prerequisites, please contact our admissions office. Clinical Prerequisites A minimum of 3,000 hours of direct patient care experience must be completed by the application deadline. Hours accrued as a student in a training program cannot be used towards this total. (continued on page 4) Program Academic Prerequisites All applicants, regardless of degrees held, must complete the following courses with a grade of C or better. A minimum of three (3) semester or four (4) quarter units is required for each course. Human Anatomy with Lab Human Physiology with Lab Microbiology with Lab Introductory Chemistry - One year of high school or one college course.

4 4 This requirement can be met with 18 months of full time work experience or equivalent part time hours. This requirement is meant to help the applicant achieve a knowledge base and skill set needed for the successful completion of our Program. Not all health care positions can or will provide the appropriate clinical experience. Factors considered are time spent, position responsibilities (level of decision making), and setting of clinical experience(s). Both paid and volunteer hours are acceptable. Examples of Acceptable Clinical Experiences Clinical experiences involving direct patient care are evaluated on an individual basis. Students have entered our Program from a variety of clinical backgrounds, including, but not limited to: Medical Assistant (Back Office) Military Medic or Corpsman Nurse (LVN or RN) Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) Paramedic/EMT Radiology Technician Physical Therapist Respiratory Therapist International Medical Graduate Foreign Coursework Estimated Educational Costs California (CA) Resident: Fees ($4,500/quarter) $22,250 $13/unitx86 units $1,118 Foothill Student Fees $ 202 Sum of School Cost: $23,820 Home computer w/ and internet access $1,500 Books and Equipment $2,200 Handheld device or PDA $ 400 Total CA Resident Costs: $27,920 Non CA Resident Fee: $9,000 Total Non CA Resident Cost: $36,920 * These figures are provided for planning purposes only, and are subject to change. Applicants who complete coursework outside of the United States must have their official foreign transcripts evaluated and translated by an independent educational evaluating service based in the United States. The evaluation should establish degree, course and credit (unit or hour) equivalency for all foreign coursework. If English is evaluated as ESL, you will have to meet the English (1A) Composition requirement. If Sociology/Cultural Anthro. or Psychology is not a lower division undergraduate introductory course; you will need to complete it. Prerequisites in Human Anatomy, Human Physiology, and Microbiology cannot be met using foreign credit unless the coursework was completed in Great Britain or Canada. If coursework was completed in Great Britain or Canada, please contact the Admissions Office for information on using these credits to meet the prerequisites. Otherwise, these courses must be taken in the United States at a regionally accredited institution. All other prerequisites may be met with foreign equivalent credits, pending prior approval of applicable courses by the Primary Care Associate Program Admissions Office. Prior to submitting an application for admission, applicants must submit a course description, in English, from the foreign school attended. The Admissions Office then determines if the course is comparable to one offered at a regionally accredited institution in the United States. No foreign high school classes will be accepted. Applicants with foreign degrees that are awarded equivalency of a Bachelor s degree or higher are not required to meet General Education prerequisites. Applicants with foreign degrees that are equivalent to a Doctor of Medicine degree are not required to meet program prerequisites for Algebra and Chemistry. No PA Program courses will be waived for prior completion of similar courses at a foreign medical school. An official copy of the independent evaluation as well as the course descriptions of the pre approved coursework must be included in the application packet. The International Education Research Foundation, Inc. (IERF), World Education Services (WES) or equivalent organizations are recommended educational evaluators.
