Our goal is to to facilitate effective, innovative, student-centered pediatric education throughout the four years of medical school for the benefit of students, residents, faculty, and ultimately patients and families
The student education website includes information relevant to SLU pediatric student education across all four years with primary audience of faculty, fellows, residents, along with students enrolled in our various pre-clerkship, career exploration, and fourth year courses, and/or those interested in a Pediatric career. The recommended use of the website by clerkship students is limited to reviewing detailed information for “mini-electives.”
The website is an ongoing work in progress. We hope you find the information useful. We also welcome any feedback you might have.
