PEDI G710 - Pediatric Hematology/Oncology
Credits: 2
This rotation will allow 3rd year medical students to participate in the care of hematology and oncology patients in the hospital and clinic settings. Under the guidance of an attending hematologist/oncologist, the medical student will shadow and observe direct clinical care of pediatric hematology/oncology patients. By rotation end, they will perform history and physical exams; interpret basic laboratory tests; review peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirate smear; and participate in the planning of comprehensive whole-family care that is the hallmark of the pediatric hematology/oncology team, which consists of physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, child life, chaplains, social workers and psychologists. Furthermore, the student will be expected to give a brief review of relevant hematology/oncology topics on a weekly basis. Also, bedside teaching occurs during rounds and during clinic visits, so that the student’s exposure to most of the common disorders in hematology/oncology will be complete.
