Ambulatory Community Selective:
Pediatric Option

Course Directors: Gayani Silva, MD and Virginia Niebuhr, PhD

Overview: This selective is an opportunity for the 4th-year medical student to learn about the profession and practice of Pediatrics in a community-based outpatient setting. The student will spend four weeks with a community-based pediatrician (generalist or specialist), joining in patient care and any daily activities of that provider.   In addition, the student will learn about agencies serving the health of the community: Area Health Education Center (AHEC), Women, Infants & Children ( WIC), and at least one other children-youth-family serving agency.

The Pediatric ACS is one of about fourteen choices the medical student has to complete the Ambulatory Community Selective requirement.   For more general information about the UTMB Ambulatory Community Selective, link here:

Where? We have identified a cadre of Texas pediatricians eager to work with students interested in careers in Pediatrics.   Link here to a list of pediatricians who have taken ACS students into their practices.

There are more pediatricians who have volunteered; link here to a list of available community pediatricians.

Choose a community in which you want to work. Notify the ACS Course Coordinator, who will then notify an Area Health Education Center (AHEC)¹coordinator to link you to a provider in that community.   Please do not contact these physicians directly, as AHEC will coordinate assignments.

If you know a pediatrician you want to work with but whose name is not on the list, submit that physician's name to the ACS Coordinator and efforts will be made, through AHEC, to include that physician in our community-based provider pool.

¹ Don't know what AHEC is or does? Not to worry. "Learning about AHEC" is indeed one of the objectives of this rotation.
