This outpatient care facility includes the general pediatric and pediatric subspecialty clinics. In this setting, residents have their continuity experience, block rotations in ambulatory pediatrics and the outpatient component of their subspecialty rotations.
Residents have their clinic on the same half day each week throughout the year.
After the first year, residents have an additional half day in clinic each week on some of their rotations. The continuity clinic is given priority over all other experiences. Residents are encouraged to follow normal infants, children, and adolescents as well as patients with a variety of disorders. Experiences occur in schools, homes, parenting classes and community-based social programs for children and their families. The resident learns about the development of normal children which will provide a baseline from which to better assess those with abnormal development.
