Clinical Rotations Site Locations

杏吧原创鈥檚 Physician Assistant program is based in New York State, and the majority of clinical rotation sites are located within the state. Currently, 94% of our secured Supervised Clinical Practice Experience (SCPE) sites are in New York, with over half located within 50 miles of campus.

While the program will consider student preferences for geographic location, placement in any specific location is not guaranteed. Students must be prepared to travel for any and all required clinical rotations. Students may be required to complete up to all clinical rotation assignments outside of their preferred geographic location, including assignments that require temporary relocation. There are no minimum or maximum distance or mileage restrictions for clinical rotation assignments.

Students are solely responsible for securing and financing their own transportation, housing, and all travel-related expenses associated with clinical rotations, including those requiring temporary relocation. Students must maintain reliable transportation and comply with all site-specific requirements, schedules, and expectations, regardless of location or distance from their primary residence.

Additional costs may be incurred related to travel, housing, and other living expenses during the clinical year. We encourage prospective students to consider these potential expenses as they plan for their education.
