PAS-6204 Pediatrics Clinical Rotation

The five (5) week Pediatrics rotation takes place in an outpatient and/or inpatient setting exposing the student to the healthcare needs of the pediatric patient population. Through supervised patient contact, the student will gain experience in performing pediatric history and physical examinations, ranging from neonate through adolescence. Students will develop the knowledge and attitudes necessary to interact with both the pediatric patient and caregiver, document patient encounters, and assess and manage both common pediatric problems, as well as acute illness. The student will be afforded the opportunity to become familiar with normal growth and development, immunization schedules, nutritional requirements, and anticipatory guidance.
