CPSL 7010-7017 - Maternal and Child Health


4 credit hours each

The Maternal and Child Health third year clerkship is designed to grow the student’s basic understanding of pediatrics and/or obstetrics through the integration of didactic core knowledge and additional clinical experience. This is a four-week clerkship that may be fulfilled by a single four-week rotation or a combination of two weeks each in pediatrics and/or OB-GYN. Students will receive exposure to patients in both ambulatory and inpatient settings, and wherever possible learning will occur as part of an integrated set of experiences where students participate in the care of a panel of patients. The four-week MCH clerkship is in addition to the required four-week OB/GYN and Pediatrics clerkships which students must also complete. To satisfy the MCH clerkship requirements, students can either do two additional weeks of OB/GYN plus two additional weeks of pediatrics or choose to do 4 additional weeks in either OB/GYN or Pediatrics.
