The core pediatric clerkship is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the approach to the care of children and their families. In addition, medical students explore the range of reasons children seek medical care, from well child visits to acute medical problems in both the inpatient and outpatient setting, and the ongoing management of chronic illnesses.
Academic Year 2026-2027
