Student Education

The Department takes very seriously its role in the education of medical students. Besides the required third year eight week clerkship, the Department offers a full array of rotations for senior students. Visiting students can review the available courses and complete the application process by reviewing the School of Medicine course catalog on line.
The course materials for Pediatrics 731 (Pediatric Clerkship) are located on the SOLE website for the Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center.
