PED 3200 Pediatrics Clerkship
Addresses issues unique to childhood and adolescence by focusing on human growth and development, principles of health supervision, and recognition and treatment of common health problems. Emphasizes impact of family, community, and society on child health, well-being, and illness. Provides a foundation for students who choose to further study the healthcare of infants, children, and adolescents. Students participate in clinical activities of general and subspecialty pediatric services, emphasizing fundamental and common issues. Pediatric history-taking and physical examination are stressed, along with clinical problem solving. The goal is to provide students with a structured learning environment incorporating quality clinical teaching and computer-simulated case studies, resulting in a comprehensive learning experience and self-directed learning skills necessary to provide a lifetime of current, compassionate, and committed healthcare.
