Pediatric Physical Findings Rounds

Catalog description

The aim of this elective is to provide MD and PA students hands-on exposure to the unique nature of the physical exam in pediatric patients. Children hospitalized at LPCH with various physical findings are identified and then introduced to students. Students (in small groups) examine patients at the bedside to note the physical finding and discuss it together within the context of the patient's clinical problem. Emphasis is placed on understanding the cause of the finding and the variability of exam with age.
