PED 6810 - Education in Pediatrics Across the Continuum: Focus 1

Education in Pediatrics Across the Continuum (EPAC) FOCUS-1, the second component of an elective curriculum that supplies additional exposure to pediatrics, provides students with information regarding the specialty of pediatrics through seminars, task trainer simulations, group discussions and clinical experiences. The latter consists of a four-hour interaction with patients in the Teen Mother and Child Clinic at South Main Clinic. There, students will be supervised by experienced senior pediatric residents, a pediatric chief resident, and faculty of the Division of General Pediatrics. During this ambulatory experience, students will have the opportunity to see and evaluate patients, develop a differential diagnosis and treatment plans, and work as part of a multidisciplinary team providing health care.
