We, the Pediatric Teaching Faculty,
are excited to have you with us and look forward to a rich learning
experience for all involved. You will be training at one of the
following four sites: NC Children's Hospital
at UNC Chapel Hill, Moses Cone
Hospital in Greensboro, WakeMed in
Raleigh, or Carolinas Medical Center
in Charlotte.
At
each site, the clerkship consists of four weeks on the inpatient
ward, one week in the term nursery and three weeks in an
ambulatory setting. A variety of pediatric problems will be encountered
in these settings. In addition, there will be opportunities
to explore those aspects of preventive medicine and psycho-social-environmental
factors that relate directly to infants, children, adolescents,
and their families.
The goals
and objectives that you are expected to have met at the end
of the rotation are taken from the Council
on Medical Student Education in Pediatrics (COMSEP). The varied
activities of this rotation have been designed to allow you to meet
these goals in a meaningful and enjoyable way. We, as a faculty,
are committed to helping you reach these goals to the best of our
ability. To be successful, however, students must organize their
time to provide an appropriate balance between clinical activities
and independent learning through reading and study. Other essentials
are a cooperative, enthusiastic and compassionate attitude; responsibility;
a demonstrated interest in patient care; intellectual motivation;
and a systematic, organized approach to clinical problems.
