Pediatrics

Catalog description

This four-week clerkship provides students with an experience in general pediatrics, from neonates through young adulthood. The clerkship focus is on ambulatory care; however, it may include in-patient care, newborn nursery, neonatal intensive care, and/or emergency department. This clerkship will allow the student an opportunity to gain clinical experience in evaluating both sick and well infants, children and adolescent. The clerkship experience may also include specialty pediatrics such as allergy and immunology or other subspecialties.
