Scheduling your Core Pediatrics Clerkship
The practice of Pediatrics involves addressing the health needs of children. Every child should have the opportunity to grow and develop to achieve his or her maximum potential. The job of the Pediatrician is to assist in that process by treating and preventing illness, guiding children and their families toward good health choices, and offering information and interventions that support the overall well-being of the child.
Goals of the core pediatric clerkship: Provide foundational skills and knowledge about the fundamental issues of health and illness relevant to the care of children.
A detailed description of the current requirements and clerkship materials can be found here.
