Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The purpose of this course is to provide the medical student with the knowledge and clinical experience necessary
to develop basic skills in the evaluation and management of health and disease in infants, children and
adolescents. The core pediatric clerkship is an introduction to the care of children and emphasizes those aspects of
pediatrics which should be understood and mastered by all physicians, regardless of ultimate career goals. The
clerkship will address issues unique to childhood and adolescence by focusing on human developmental biology,
and by emphasizing the impact of family, community and society on child health and well-being. It is within this
framework of normal growth and development that the student will learn the mechanism of disease processes and
develop the ability to formulate appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic plans. Additionally, the clerkship focuses
on the impact of disease and its treatment on the developing human, and emphasizes growth and development,
principles of health supervision and recognition of common health problems. The role of the pediatrician in
prevention of disease and injury and the importance of collaboration between the pediatrician and other health
professionals is stressed.

Course Content:

Videos, animations and film illustrations related to lectures.
