 Introduction to Pediatrics Elective
PEDS 20115

Rotation Director: Grace Chong – Grace.Chong@uchospitals.edu



Welcome to the Introduction to Pediatrics Elective!

Goals and Objectives
  • Our goal is to introduce you to a broader range of pediatric subspecialties and practice systems, emphasizing pediatric-specific disease processes and considerations. 
  • By the end of the course, you will be able to recognize pediatric considerations in at least nine pediatric specialties and apply basic pathophysiology to patient presentations in different disease populations and practice settings.
  • In addition to didactic lectures on key concepts, you will engage in interactive sessions to contextualize learning objectives. These experiences will include simulation, hands-on training labs, patient/family panel, and advocacy panel discussions. Furthermore, you will participate in case-based discussions by way of bedside teaching and clinical shadowing to integrate medical knowledge into clinical constructs.
