Pediatric Clerkship

Pediatrics clerkships offer many opportunities to reinforce principles of care appropriate for both ends of the lifespan, including frequent assessment of functional ability, social support, and therapeutic review. Young and old populations are at risk for similar conditions such as adverse drug reactions, failure to thrive, and neglect or abuse.
