Pediatric Clerkship

Catalog description

The Pediatric Clerkship is an introductory course. During this time, you will continue to build medical knowledge, refine clinical skills, and grow as a physician-in-training as you care for children of all ages. Supervised clinical practice is at the core of medical training and the major means of achieving course goals. You will experience three core general pediatric sites: General Ambulatory Clinic at Danis Midtown, Well-Baby Nursery at St. Mary's Hospital, General Inpatient Pediatrics at Cardinal Glennon, and 1-2 "Mini Electives." We challenge you to assume the primary physician role (with appropriate supervision) for the patients and families you care for. We invite incoming students to complete an online intake and then use the clerkship intake form and our clinical site availability to create a more personalized schedule.
