Pediatric Emergency Medicine Student Clerkship

Student Clerkship

In the more intimate environment of the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Department, you will have opportunities to learn from our fantastic residents and faculty. The department has Pediatric Emergency Medicine fellowship trained faculty who have a wealth of experience and play a significant role in student and resident education. There is protected time to attend the department’s weekly grand rounds.

We take one student per two-week block, depending on availability and local students’ needs.

Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate international students at this time.
