PEDI G880 - Pediatrics Rheumatology
Credits: 2
Working in the pediatric rheumatology office allows the best exposure to the typical diseases and pathophysiology encountered by a pediatric rheumatologist. Inpatient consultation may also provide some exposure to these diseases. Students are expected to attend the outpatient pediatric rheumatology visits scheduled at the Patewood campus of GHS. Typically, patients are seen from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm Monday - Friday but students may leave clinic early to attend any required lunch lectures. If there are joint injections scheduled during the rotation then students may observe the procedures which take place at the main GHS campus in the afternoons. If desired, students may accompany faculty to the GHS main campus hospital for any inpatient consults that occur during the elective. Consult patients are also seen in the afternoons. The rotation will be primarily an observational experience. There are no overnight or weekend responsibilities. Because the clinic patient volumes are lower compared to other specialties, the student will be asked to prepare two short overview talks (one per week). One talk should cover JIA, the most common rheumatologic condition in childhood, and the second topic can be chosen based on the student’s interests.
