PED 4490 Pediatric Infectious Disease

This is probably the most specifically military relevant Pediatric rotation as emerging infectious diseases and well-known diseases continue to be a health threat to both adults and children in multiple environments from deployments to hospitals to communities to schools and daycare settings. While children often bear the most severe burden, these diseases affect day-to-day activities as well as combat strength. This rotation gives you an excellent grounding in the prevention and treatment of those threats for students interested in any residency.
