OMED 8240 Pediatrics Elective Clerkship
This two-week elective clerkship is designed to provide experiential learning in the field of pediatrics. Students will perform comprehensive, age-appropriate routine examination and screenings as well as manage acute and chronic conditions specific to newborns, children, and adolescents. Special emphasis will be placed on anticipatory guidance, vaccinations, and prevention of injury and disease. Integration and application of osteopathic principles and practices to the management of pediatric patients will also be encouraged. Students should ultimately develop the important clinical skills that are essential to caring for one of the most vulnerable populations of patients- those under 18 years of age, both well and ill.
