Community Faculty

 

This rotation is a tutorial association with a community pediatrician. The student will see patients in the physician's office, may be on call for emergencies, will accompany the physician on hospital rounds, and will participate in appropriate hospital conferences and seminars. The experience should broaden the scope of the student interested in the community practice of pediatrics.

Objective

Provide a realistic view of community pediatric practice.

 

Final arrangements concerning the course location/preceptor will be made through a faculty member after the student receives his/her elective choice.

**Students who select a 2 week rotation may only have 1 day of absence excused.

Contact the community physician directly or Dr. Sharon Dabrow to assist in organizing the rotation at sdabrow@health.usf.edu or 259-8752.
