Course Information
Description
This is an advanced elective designed for students who have completed their Core Clerkship in Pediatrics and who desire a more intensive experience with increased responsibility in the management of pediatric inpatients. Students will typically work three weeks of days, one week of nights plus at least two weekend days. They will function as sub-interns, admitting and managing a mix of general and subspecialty patients as part of an inpatient ward team under the supervision of senior and junior residents and attending physicians, often working alongside interns. At night, students will share responsibility with their ward team for admissions and coverage. Students will attend resident teaching conferences and radiology rounds as well as regular feedback meetings. Based on student goals discussed during the orientation meeting, additional experiences may be arranged in general pediatric and subspecialty outpatient settings. Career development meetings with chief residents, pediatric residency program leadership and other faculty will be arranged, as appropriate. The primary goal of this elective is to provide an opportunity to strengthen skills in the independent evaluation and management of pediatric inpatients.
