PEDS

This is primarily an outpatient cardiology clinic rotation with opportunities to observe surgeries, TEEs, catheterizations, advanced imaging, and EP studies. The student will learn the clinical signs and symptoms of the major congenital and acquired pediatric cardiac conditions. Self-directed reading of primary articles as well as texts will be required. Relevant EKGs echocardiography, x-rays and physical exam findings will be reviewed.

The Pediatrics Clerkship provides students with clinical experience in the inpatient/hospital setting and outpatient clinic, including exposure to pediatric sub-specialties and the newborn nursery. Our faculty and residents contribute to medical student education through direct observation in the clinical setting, bedside teaching, interactive case-based didactics, standardized patient encounters, computer case simulation, and student mentoring and advising.
