Welcome to the clinical phase of your PA education! Our team could not be more excited to see you begin your
rotations and apply the knowledge and skills you’ve developed in the didactic year. This is where classroom learning meets real-world medicine—where you’ll grow from student to clinician.
Across Arizona, our program partners with a diverse network of clinical sites that reflect the communities we serve. From urban hospitals to rural clinics, AHEC-affiliated training centers, and sites serving Spanish-speaking and underserved populations, each rotation offers a unique opportunity to expand your clinical perspective and deepen your commitment to patient-centered care.
As you embark on this next step, remember that every encounter is a chance to learn, to serve, and to embody the values of compassion, cultural humility, and clinical excellence that define our profession. We look forward to sharing in your success as you begin this extraordinary journey.
Warm regards,
Kaia Kordosky-Herrera, MMS, PA-C
