PEDI 730 Pediatrics Core Clinical Experience

Credits: 6
The purpose of the Pediatric Core clinical experience is for students to learn the basics of history-taking, perform age-appropriate physical exams, and develop assessments and plans for infants, children and adolescents. Students will develop an understanding of the unique healthcare needs of pediatric patients, work to identify age-specific milestones, and gain exposure to the basic management of children with special healthcare needs. Students will be exposed to both general and specialty pediatric patients in inpatient and outpatient settings. The course coordinator will distribute a site preference survey to enrolled students approximately 12 weeks prior to the start of the rotation.
