Welcome to Pediatrics

Got a notice from the rotation coordinator for my pediatrics clerkship. To quote: "Teams have been assigned & call schedules are set; they are NOT alterable. Overnight call is Q4". So every 4th night, I get to admit patients starting from 2 pm 'till 7 am.

From the student-run Ward Guide:
For many students, this rates as one of the most enjoyable, yet demanding of the required rotations. Medical students are typically given a tremendous amount of responsibility, and manage multiple patients. Although the focus is on inpatient pediatrics, most sites provide opportunities to work in the clinic, ED, and/or the newborn nursery at some point. All sights have overnight call, usually Q4. The SHELF examination is fair and covers clinically relevant material that will be covered during daily didactic sessions. The residents and staff are among the nicest you will encounter in your rotations, and are also among the best teachers. So jump in and see what its like to be a pediatrician for six weeks, we think you will be pleasantly surprised!
