Pediatric Scholars at the UConn School of Medicine Pediatric Scholars, Department of Pediatrics PediScholars is a combination of an interest group and a scholar's program. It is open to Medical Students of all four years without obligation.
Scholars generally meets the first and third Wednesdays of every month.
September through May . Do an informal presentation or lead a discussion on any topic in Pediatrics that interests them. Generally they invite one or two members of the Pediatric faculty to help them and serve as supporters for discussions. I hope that this gives students a chance to learn about Pediatrics, meet faculty in a congenial setting, practice presenting and consume mass quantities of high and low fat foods and drinks. These students are formal Scholars and receive a certificate, are taken to dinner by the Chairman and compete for awards in Pediatrics.
