This elective will aid students in their initial approach to pediatric renal disease, understanding the mechanisms of renal injury and evaluation and therapy of renal diseases. Tutorials are offered at least twice a week, covering topics such as proteinuria, hematuria, developmental anomalies, urinary tract infection, acute and chronic glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, acute and chronic renal failure, lupus erythematosus, hypertension, dialysis, and transplantation. Other topics may also be covered as determined by student preference.
The students will provide inpatient (TGH and /or ACH) and outpatient (USF Clinics) care under close faculty supervision. The student is expected to either provide a discussion of one selected topic or present a patient management case towards the end of the rotation.
**Students who select a 2 week rotation may only have 1 day of absence excused.
