Ambulatory Pediatrics
STUDENTS IN
THE AMBULATORY SETTING A. Goal: Introduction to Pediatrics in the Ambulatory Setting B. Objectives 1. Skills a) To be able to take an appropriate
pediatric history, both complete and focused. 2. Content a) To be able to differentiate "sick"
from “well" children and thereby to recognize the weight
of importance to be placed on signs and symptoms at different ages. C. Procedures 1. Students will be oriented by the Student Coordinator or designee in the ambulatory areas. 2. Students will be directly
supervised by the attending physicians in these areas. If an attending
is not available, a senior resident may supervise the student. When a
student has finished the evaluation of his patient, he will call in an
attending (or resident) who will review and discuss problems, assessment
and plans, and recheck physical findings. When the chart is complete including
instruction sheet) and plans for diagnosis, treatment and follow up are
implemented and understood 3. Students in CHC will follow the CHC and team conferences except for conferences on Thursdays. 4. Charts: When the student is seeing a patient with an appointment, he/she must perform and record a complete data base for that area and complete physical examination (including description of all pertinent negative findings). When the student examines a patient whose data base forms are not complete, the student will complete those forms. For information on an appropriate history and physical exam on a pediatric patient, consult the references listed under General Information for the Clerkship.
