The Pediatric clerkship is a required eight-week course whose primary goals are
to foster an interest among students in pursuing a career involving the
care of infants, children, and adolescents and to assist each student
in acquiring the general knowledge and skills pertaining to the care of
children that every physician graduating from Tulane should have. The
course curriculum has been adapted from a national curriculum developed
by the Council on Medical Student Education in Pediatrics (COMSEP). During
the eight-week block, students spend four weeks on an inpatient service,
two weeks in a neonatal intensive care unit, and two weeks in an ambulatory
care setting. These clinical experiences are supplemented by a series
of lectures and small group learning sessions. Students are evaluated
on their clinical performance (65%) by qualitative assessments from faculty
and residents and on their fund of knowledge (35%) by quantitative assessment
on three exams. Clinical Experiences are provided at Tulane University Hospital
and Clinic and The Ochsner Foundation Hospital.
