Student experience

the class

Use both didactics and simulations to cover high yield topics that a new Pediatric Intern should know to start a Pediatrics Residency. Working with a team of faculty, multi-disciplinary staff, residents, fellows and course directors, review topics such as intravenous fluid management, nutrition, vaccines, newborn care, fever and antibiotic therapy, developmental skills, hematology/oncology emergencies, dermatology, respiratory distress, endocrine emergencies, radiology, and informed consent. Participate in simulations to review medical knowledge, communication skills, and teamwork. Participate in difficult communication cases including obtaining informed consent or talking with parents of patients who choose to decline recommended management options. Practice common pediatric skills including IV placement, umbilical line placement, defibrilation, airway management, lumbar puncture, and suturing.
