Summary: For a physician assistant student, the clinical year marks a time of great excitement and anticipation. 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. Although excitement is the overlying theme, some amount of uncertainty is bound to be present as one progresses from rotation to rotation, moving through the various medical specialties. Through an organized and predictable approach, this book series serves as a guide and companion to help feel prepared for what one will encounter during the clinical year. Written by an experienced physician assistant educator, the book details the clinical approach to common presentations such as anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. It also provides a systems-based approach to 40 of the most frequently encountered disease entities one will see in this rotation, including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and personality disorders. Chapters are organized in a way that allows one 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 and find a step-by-step guide to frequently performed procedures. Electronic resources are available for the book. These include case studies with explanations to evaluate clinical reasoning process, and review questions to assist in self-evaluation and preparation for end-of-rotation examinations as well as the Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam. Distinguished by brief, bulleted content with handy tables and figures, the reference offers all pertinent laboratory studies, screening tools, and diagnostic criteria needed to confirm a diagnosis. This guide describes the urgent management techniques one will learn during the behavioral health rotation, including suicide risk assessment, management of delirium tremens, and use of restraints.
