PED 872 - Third-Year Pediatric Clerkship

This clerkship aims to provide a solid core of pediatric knowledge and skills, an appreciation of the spectrum of growth and development, and a logical approach to the care of children in both illness and health, which can be applied in whatever field of medicine you enter.
The care of individual patients requires the application of all these skills. The student is expected to recognize and manage common pediatric acute and chronic health problems.
Also, skills in recording documentation and writing prescriptions must be developed. A student must have well-developed interpersonal skills that facilitate communication and demonstrate attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs that promote the patient’s best interest. Duration: Four Weeks
