PNWU-COM Clinical Rotations Infrastructure
COM administration, student affairs, assistant deans, the director of clinical rotations, and regional liaisons work collaboratively to support students, regional deans, regional coordinators, and adjunct clinical faculty. Department chairs provide curricular support, and the technical services department supports weekly didactics.
Regional Site Infrastructure
A regional dean at each site provides oversight and structure. The regional coordinators schedule rotations, gather student evaluations, proctor end-of-rotation shelf exams, and provide administrative support to the regional deans. The adjunct clinical faculty are provided faculty development and structured curriculum that includes assigned readings and case studies. Didactics occur weekly at each site.
