Site visit summary

This was my fourth rotation now and I had Arti Ramkumar as my site evaluator. She mentioned to me and two other students that she was a York graduate and is currently working in NYPQ. We had two sessions with Arti, the mid evaluation was on zoom and our final evaluation in person. I felt that she was a great evaluator as she was able to help me perfect my H&Ps with some recommendations that she felt was important to include. Things like having all of my medications for a patient with the proper dosing and having all of the past medical history in my HPI were things that she emphasized since this will make it easier for anyone reading the chart to start developing differential diagnosis. What I also liked about having Arti as a site evaluator was that she would also do patient cases with us that made us think outside the box as future PAs. She would provide us with a challenging patient presentation and have us all brainstorm ideas of what the suspected diagnosis is and how to treat it. We had one specific case of Ludwigs angina, which was an interesting and unique case that she saw in the hospital. She also brought in some multiple-choice questions that were a good refresher to various different subjects to help prepare us for the PANCE. Arti was one of my favorite site evaluators thus far and I am looking forward to having the rest this year be as great as she was.
