Summary: For a physician assistant (PA) student, the clinical year marks a time of great excitement and anticipation. It is a time to hone the skills one have learned in their didactic training and work toward becoming a competent and confident healthcare provider. After many intense semesters in the classroom, one will have the privilege of participating in the practice of medicine. Each rotation will reinforce, refine, and enhance their knowledge and skills through exposure and repetition. As clinical-year PA students, they are not expected to know everything, but are expected to seek out resources that can complement what they will learn through hands-on experience. Through an organized and predictable approach, this book series serves as a guide and companion to help one feel prepared for what one will encounter during the clinical year. Chapters are organized in a way that allows to quickly access vital information that can help one recognize, diagnose, and treat commonly seen conditions. One can easily review suggested labs and diagnostic imaging for a suspected diagnosis, find a step-by-step guide to frequently performed procedures, and review urgent management of conditions specific to each rotation. Written by an experienced PA educator, this guide details common surgical procedures such as thyroidectomy, hernia repair, mastectomy, and appendectomy. It also provides important information on surgical emergencies, including gastrointestinal bleeding, perforated viscus, and limb ischemia. System-based chapters reviewing the presentation and management of common conditions that may require surgery are also included. Advice on taking good subjective, objective, assessment, and plan notes, guidance on how to prepare patients for surgery, and tips on surgical etiquette will help one excel during this intense rotation. Additional chapters on pre- and post-operative management of patients, sterile technique, and common wound closure methods will arm one with the knowledge one’ll need to succeed.
