PEDI 709X Pediatrics Special Elective

Credits: 4
The purpose of this elective is for students to gain in-depth experience in a pediatric subspecialty of their choosing. Virtually any pediatric subspecialty here at OHSU has the potential to be turned into a special elective, whether it be pediatric psychology, craniofacial surgery, dermatology, neurosurgery, otolaryngology (ENT), ophthalmology, pain/sedation, radiology, sleep medicine, or urology. Community/away sites can also be considered, including orthopedics at Shriners Hospital and the many general outpatient pediatric clinics located in the greater Portland area. If you know and would like to work with a local pediatrician, contact the course coordinator as soon as possible to make the necessary arrangements. The special elective can be two or four weeks in duration, depending on the availability of your chosen preceptor.

Graded: Pass/No pass
