PED 4670 Pediatric Ward
This rotation offers you a more diverse view of sick children and their management, from respiratory difficulties requiring hospital-level monitoring and intervention to children receiving therapy for cancer or other chronic illnesses. You will learn to prioritize and organize your approach, presentation, and plan of care for several patients at once. Any ward experience is designed to help you differentiate SICK patients from sick patients, and that is a valuable skill for any specialty. Most learners and physicians can have difficulty with this skill, especially in children, so this rotation can help you gain confidence and build on this critically important skill.
