Clinical rotations generally follow the pattern of seven, eight hours per day in one office, (1st rotation), and eight days of eight hours per day are spent in a second office (second rotation). Students and coordinator track the time at each facility. Students observe and participate in basic procedures followed in the operation of the administrative, clinical, and laboratory routines of each particular clinical assignment. The course allows opportunities to perform tasks learned in the college classroom, to observe other procedures, and to participate in the routines and operations of medical practices as required by the American Association of Medical Assistants and the Commission of Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs, the program accrediting agencies. There is no financial remuneration given to the student during this supervised clinical assignment.
