Physician Assistant Student Rotations
Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian has active affiliation agreements with Chapman University and South College for Physician Assistant Student Rotations. Students are mentored by clinical PAs and/or physicians and will experience firsthand the care given to patients by multidisciplinary, interprofessional care teams.
An active affiliation agreement must be on file with Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in order to rotate at the institution. Please check with our office to determine if your PA program is affiliated with Hoag. If an agreement needs to be initiated or renewed, the process takes up to 120 days.
To apply for an affiliation, please complete the PA Affiliation Inquiry Form Here.
It is highly recommended that PA students plan their rotations during the later period of their clinical training.
Current rotations offered include:
- Cardio Thoracic Surgery
