Pediatric Sub-Internship

Catalog description

This course is designed to provide the student with an intensive, in-depth exposure to the diagnosis and management of pediatric patients hospitalized at Duke University Hospital. Students are responsible for admissions, management throughout the hospitalization, and discharge planning.

Students are evaluated by their residents and attending physicians. This course cannot be taken in conjunction with any other course. Students must obtain the permission of Dr. Jennifer De Coste-Lopez ([email protected]) to register for or to drop this course.
