Junior Pediatric ClerkshipThe object of the clerkship is to provide the fundamentals of the care of neonates, infants, children and adolescents.
Clerkship Structure
The clerkship consists of 4 weeks in the inpatient setting (general pediatrics, subspecialty, urgent care and in the normal newborn nursery) and 2 weeks in the outpatient setting. Third year medical students are an integral part of the inpatient medical team and are encouraged to take ownership of their patients. In addition to learning well child care and pathologic states in infants and children, students learn to write orders and perform and write admission history and physical examinations, including their own assessment and plan. Students present their patients during rounds on the inpatient units and write daily progress notes on all their patients. Students are expected to take part in all aspects of their patients’ care and to read daily about their patients’ problems.
Didactic component
The didactic curriculum includes a series of sessions given by attending physicians. Students also have interactive case sessions with the Clerkship Directors, ethics sessions, and simulation sessions. Students are also invited to attend Morning Report, Resident noon conferences, Grand Rounds and FIRM conferences. Julie Kim Stamos, M.D
