PEDI G730 - Pediatric Pulmonology


Credits: 2

The course offers firsthand experience with pediatric lung disease. Students will see new patients as often as possible, either independently commensurate with their abilities and prior experience and precept with attending faculty, or work with faculty initially in a shadowing role, striving to become capable of more independent patient interactions. This is the most effective way to broaden differential diagnostic skills, develop a basic understanding of subspecialty evaluation and treatment plans, and gain a familiarity with the variety of patients commonly referred for potential respiratory problems. Students will also be free to round with providers in the inpatient setting, perform interesting and educational new inpatient consults, and attend flexible bronchoscopy cases as schedules and individual interests may allow.
