| Description |
Outpatient clinic experiences in the diagnosis and management of problems of patients between 12 years and 25 years under the supervision of senior staff and fellows. In addition to primary care in the Adolescent Health Center, students get to experience many different aspects of Adolescent Medicine. Based on interest level and availability, we can arrange further experience with our eating disorder clinic, HIV interdisciplinary meetings, inpatient adolescent medicine team, LGBTQ clinic, teen education programs (birth control class), school-based health centers and pediatric gynecology (including LARC procedures). Additional participation in medical teaching conferences and Adolescent Grand Rounds will be expected. No weekends or call. This elective provides a close working relationship with pediatric residents during their required outpatient adolescent block. |
