ROTATION DESCRIPTION
The Wound Care rotation is a one month training experience in an
outpatient wound care center. Students will have an opportunity to treat
wounds in a variety of somatic locations resulting from various etiologies
including diabetes, pressure, arterial disease, and venous disease.
Students will enhance their ability to utilize proper assessment techniques,
distinguish among various types of ulcers, select and apply wound
dressings and topical agents, and employ various techniques of
debridement.
III. PREREQUISITES
The first two years of didactic curriculum plus the third year didactic
curriculum must be completed successfully prior to beginning this rotation.
IV. ROTATION GOALS
The overall goal of the experience is for the student to develop fundamental
skills in the evaluation and management of patients presenting with
ulcerations
V. ROTATION OBJECTIVES
The rotation objectives are provided to assist students in their clinical
learning experiences. In addition to specified objectives, students must take
a fundamental interest in their own education by asking appropriate
questions, following patients, putting in extra time, and reading about

IX. EVALUATION POLICY
The Arizona School of Podiatric Medicine is the final authority in determining
whether a student has met the requirements to satisfactorily pass a rotation.
In order to receive a passing grade, the following MUST be completed by the
deadline as stated in the Clinical Handbook.
1. Preceptor’s Evaluation of Student
2. Student’s Evaluation of Rotation/Site
3. Student Case Logs
A passing grade from the assigned preceptor in each rotation is required
for passage of the rotation. An average grade of 80 or greater is required
for successful completion in the General Objectives portion of the student

evaluation. A student with an average grade of 70 or below will be interviewed
by the Clinical Director to determine why the grade was given. Additionally, an
average grade of 80 or greater is required for successful completion of the
Specific Rotation Objectives portion of the student evaluation. After consulting
with the student and the clinician who gave the failing grade, the Clinical Director
will render a decision with respect to additional time in the clinic for remediation.
Students are encouraged to review their evaluations with the attending.
CBE EVALUATION
Students will be required to participate in four CBE modules during the third year
and one multiple-choice format written exam. The hands-on assessment will
gauge the progression of clinical skills and knowledge. These exams are used to
monitor the student’s progress throughout their third year clinical training.
Participation in all CBE related activities is mandatory.
