PA school consists of a variety of different area's of study. UT Southwestern Medical Center lists there program classes on their website. After completing a variety of health care subjects the students then do clinical rotations in each of the following areas:
- Family medicine
- Internal medicine
- Obstetrics/Gynecology
- Pediatrics
- Surgery
- Emergency Medicine

These different areas help students with being well-rounded in their training, but also help them decide where they would like to practice after school is completed.
