Pediatric Sub-Internship

5 credits · School of Medicine

This course is designed to provide the student with an intensive, in-depth exposure to the diagnosis and management of pediatric patients hospitalized at Duke University Hospital. Students are responsible for admissions, management throughout the hospitalization, and discharge planning. The student functions as an intern throughout the rotation; however, notes and orders must be co-signed by the supervising resident or attending physician on the team. Students are evaluated by their residents and attending physicians. This course cannot be taken in conjunction with any other course. Students must obtain the permission of Dr. Jennifer De Coste-Lopez (jennifer.decostelopez@duke.edu) to register for or to drop this course. Prior to the start of the sub-internship, the assigned inpatient team will be provided to the student as well as details regarding sub-internship orientation activities. Credit: 5.
