IM – Site Evaluation Presentation Summary

My site evaluator is PA Andrea Pizarro. Both meetings were done in person with one of my classmates on internal medicine rotation. During my site evaluations, I presented two comprehensive histories and physicals. At the end of the H&P, PA Andrea asked us to add a patient education portion, which I thought was useful. For this portion, I wrote down things I would explain to the patient as if I were the primary provider. I included information such as test results, diagnosis, and next step in management. Even though the H&P only documented one patient encounter, PA Andrea emphasized the continuity of care and encouraged us to follow up on our patients. One of the H&P is about a patient with stroke, so I chose to present a journal article related to stroke treatment. Since it was a group meeting, I also learned from my classmate’s journal presentation regarding spondylosis. PA Andrea is pleasant to talk to and willing to share her experience as a PA.
