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.
