Medical Student Education

All UTMB medical students rotate through pediatrics. Many do extra pediatric training through acting internships, electives, and our community-based Ambulatory Community Pediatrics course. The goals for pediatric experiences in medical school are for every student to develop basic skills for the care of infants, children, and adolescents and for some students to establish a foundation to move into pediatric residency training.
