PEDI 709LR Sub-I Pediatric Inpatient (Randall Children’s Hospital)

Credits: 5
Randall Children’s Hospital offers a one-month clinical sub-internship in inpatient pediatrics. This experience gives students a concentrated view of general and subspecialty inpatient pediatrics, allowing for more in-depth exposure to multiple members of the inpatient interprofessional team. The Sub-I facilitates a more substantive evaluation of students in an active and challenging hospital environment. This rotation is intended to prepare students for internship. Students will develop skills in a variety of areas important in the care of hospitalized children, including: history taking, physical exam skills, patient presentations, clinical reasoning and assessment, problem solving, communicating with members of the interprofessional team and discharge planning. Students will pre-round on their patients daily, give bedside presentations on rounds, attend morning report and noon conferences, and, if possible, present one patient case or one learning topic to their team while on the rotation. Students should receive feedback from the ward attending or senior resident at the end of each week.
