The Pediatric Clerkship is an 8-week clinical rotation designed to provide an introductory experience in the care of children for junior or senior medical students. The curriculum is based on a national curriculum formulated by the Council on Medical Student Education in Pediatrics and is designed to assist students in acquiring basic knowledge of common and uncommon but significant pediatric disorders through both clinical and didactic learning experiences. All students spend time in general and specialty ambulatory clinics, general or specialty oriented inpatient ward services, and the well-baby and neonatal intensive care nurseries. Course may be repeated up to unlimited credit hours.
