rpurcell Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm a second year PA student going to school in VA, but I'm from CA. It's been awhile and I don't have any contacts in CA to do my rotations. I need advice/ideas on how to find rotations, preferably in the LA area for this July and August (my elective rotations). My main interest are orthopedics and dermatology, but really any rotation help will be much appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseDanao Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I'm in your same exact situation (I'm from CA and in PA school in VA!). I just found out my rotation schedule and I want to do three rotations back home in the Bay Area or even in Southern California. I've emailed a bunch of clinical coordinators at the various PA schools and education coordinators at the hospitals, but it seems my emails seem to just get lost in cyber space. My clinical coordinators have no contacts out there, so I'm all alone. If you get any good tips, I would really appreciate it! I'm looking for Women's Health, Cardio, and Derm- toward the end of the year. Best of luck to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedmote Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Im in the same boat! Im in New England but from Berkeley and looking to get back to the Bay (or LA). If you find anything out let me know!! I keep getting passed around from department to department. I figure if we can piggyback a rotation or find a willing preceptor, do well working with them, then the next PA student might be able to use them as a preceptor. Look me up if you have facebook: mmote@une.edu so we can collaborate on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate0313 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I am in the exact same spot. Did anyone have any luck finding preceptors? I'm currently beginning the process of setting up rotations as well, and would love to find someone in San Diego who would be willing to precept me. Let me know if you have any advice or can help in any way :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breestrenk10 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Did any of you guys find rotations in the LA area? I am currently trying to do the same thing and I was hoping to see if you guys had any luck. I would really appreciate any feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just having a hard time finding some and not sure where else to try as my school does not have any connections in CA! Thanks!! I went to school in Nevada and setup all of my own rotations in So Cal.

Timon, Is it okay if I message you? I'm currently in my didactic year over in WA and wanted to go home ( SoCal) to be closer to the daughter. I'm mainly looking for a Family Practice or Internal Med preceptor in the LA area or anywhere in the SoCal area. Any info helps. Thanks!

ChristinaPAS Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 BML8867 - Did you have any luck? I am a first year PA-S in Atlanta, GA. I begin rotations February 2018. I plan on working in Southern California upon graduation. Although my school sets up rotations for us in Atlanta, I would like to do as many rotations as possible in SoCal in order to begin networking and learning in the area where I want to practice in. We have 11 rotations total- each is 5 weeks. Is anyone interested in/willing to precept? Thank you for any help!! I have been searching for a month or so with very few solid results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for a preceptor in emergency medicine, general surgery, and cosmetic dermatology. If anyone has connections or suggestions, please let me know.

Confettifun Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hi yall, im a PA-S1 student looking to get a head start on rotations. I am from Rancho(SoCal) but go to school in Atlanta, GA.

PA2B4CA Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Hi all, Has anyone in PA school out-of-state experienced any issues with California rotations due to NC-SARA? I'm a PA-S1 on the east coast and from CA, but I was informed that we cannot rotate in CA since it's the only state not enrolled in NC-SARA (which standardizes educational agreements, from my understanding). Is this required for CA rotations or were you able to work with your medical center or clinic by setting up a separate agreement? Thanks!

skittlepop479 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Hi y'all! I'm looking for a preceptor in Southern California for Pediatrics, Behavioral Health, and Emergency Medicine. For Behavioral Health, any setting will work but the provider must be a MD, DO, NP, or PA. The provider can’t be a psychologist (with a PhD or PsyD) or even a therapist. However, I can rotate with them as long as my main preceptor and the provider that completes my mid and final evaluation is an MD, DO, NP, or PA. Please reach out to me if you or anyone you know would be willing to have me for my rotation (would be anywhere from October 2023-August 2024) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
