The student will attend the Pediatric Gastroenterology clinic with one of the three attendings, discuss the findings of the history and exam of the patient, discuss differential diagnosis and develop appropriate plan for work up and treatment. The student will respond to the consults from the pediatric inpatient and discuss the consult with the attending. Additionally, the student may observe gastrointestinal procedures (upper endoscopy and colonoscopy). These outpatient procedures are done at the Pediatric Ambulatory Center at the Muhlenberg campus.

 

Evaluation

The student will be expected to read about the diseases of their clinic and hospital patients. Grading for the course will be a reflection of the student's participation and daily activities.
