PAST 676 - General Pediatrics

Pediatrics is a four week clerkship which provides the opportunity to assess medical and surgical problems that require both inpatient and ambulatory management of children. Time is spent giving students practical clinical experience in the ambulatory setting managing routine childhood illness and health maintenance, and with the medical team in the hospital at the time of delivery assessing the newborn and caring for children with more severe medical problems. Students learn to recognize the influences that family interactions can have on the course of the patient’s development, well-being, and illness.
