Moderator EMEDPA Posted June 24, 2012 Moderator Share Posted June 24, 2012 Hurley Medical Center(flint, michigan) has a 25 year history of Physician Assistant education, serving as a preceptor site for six Physician Assistant school rotation sites. In 1996, Hurley Medical Center was the first ACS Level I Trauma Center to implement the Physician Assistant-Trauma Surgeon delivery model without a surgical residency program. The model continues in use as the backbone of trauma and emergent surgical care, and its role has expanded to introduce a unique opportunity in the delivery of trauma education. In order to educate mid-level practitioners in the area of trauma care, Hurley is offering an intensive ten-week Trauma Fellowship with a focus on trauma management and acute care surgery. Fellows will work with Board Certified Surgeons, Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners and receive didactic as well as hands-on experience delivering care to the complex trauma patient. They will obtain skills in the trauma field that will enhance and improve their own practice and provide needed experience to their respective trauma system.

briepm Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Thank you so much for sharing this info. I'm in school in PA now, but I'm originally from MI and am considering moving back when I'm done.. Great to know there are more options out there. 10 weeks is certainly something to consider too (rather than a 1 year residency) - have you heard anything else about this?

futurePAS Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Isn't it kind of insulting to Fellow MDS to call a 10-week training program a "fellowship"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalPA Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Has anyone actually participated in this program? Anyone think its a worthwhile opportunity? Seems a little fast to learn everything listed on their website. "Each topic will presented by the fellow with supplemental lectures by trauma staff. Each lecture should cover relevant anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, assessment and management." Week 1 Physiological Response to Trauma/Shock, Trauma Surveys, Resuscitation, Documentation Week 2 Airway and Ventilatory Management/Blunt and Penetrating Neck Injuries Week 3 Head Injury/Facial Injuries Week 4 Blunt and Penetrating Thoracic Injuries Week 5 Blunt and Penetrating Abdominal Injuries Week 6 Pelvic and Genitourinary Injuries/Damage Control Surgery Week 7 Spine and Musculoskeletal Injuries Week 8 Burns/Thermal Injuries Week 9 The Pregnant Trauma Patient/Trauma in the Elderly Week 10 Pediatric Trauma Just curious.

Moderator EMEDPA Posted September 7, 2013 Author Moderator Share Posted September 7, 2013 I did a 5 week trauma rotation following a standard ATLS course, granted the rotation was 132 hrs/week(alternating 24 and 12 hr days),but feel I covered everything on that list between the course and the rotation. What I would have liked was more of a chance to do procedures. I put in some chest tubes, was in the O.R. and ICU a lot but would have liked more central lines, more fast exams, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
