Re: What's your program's physical assessment course like?
No. We don't do any vag, prostate, or breast exams- only on the mannequins. We were together with NP students for the core Physical assessment class. We also have a separate anesthesia oriented PA class where we concentrate more on anesthetic managment and present to our faculty like they do in rounds.
The core PA class was easy- just a lot of theory and then practicing it on each other and dummies but nothing too personal. the anesthesia students didn't take it as serious as the NP students.
