Education & Training

Medical Student Education

The Department of Pediatrics is committed to providing outstanding education in pediatrics for all medical students. While the first official course doesn’t occur until second year, many faculty teach in the first year curriculum. Students are encouraged to contact any faculty members within the department--we would like to get to know you and share our enthusiasm for the care of children.
