The pediatric clerkship experience introduces students to the field of pediatric medicine. It emphasizes those aspects of general pediatrics important for all medical students and will provide a foundation for thsoe students who elect to further study the health care of infants, children and adolescents. Students will have the opportunity to participate in the clinical activities of both general and subspecialty pediatric services, but the emphasis in all services is placed on basic issues and common illnesses important for the education of the general physician.
When students are formally enrolled in the Pediatrics Clerkship, they will have access to additional curricular materials on Blackboard.
