outpatient settings at the three teaching hospitals. We have agreements with both the Osler Medical Residency and the Bayview Medical Residency to place neurology applicants in their programs. Students who plan to go on to adult neurology directly after internship must have made this career decision by early in the fourth year of medical school. There is a matching system (ERAS) which accompanies the internship application process.

It is designed to train a physician in academic and clinical pediatric neurology. The program stresses the development of competence in several areas including clinical neurology (with inpatient, outpatient, and consultative experiences), neurosurgical problems, and the scientific basis of neurology. Furthermore, the program allows pediatricians with diverse backgrounds and interests the opportunity to develop areas of special competence in specific clinical or research areas. All residents are required to participate in at least one research project under the mentorship of a full-time member of the faculty, to be completed and presented in June of their graduating year.

Meet with the Director of Medical Student Education in Ophthalmology, Dr. Henry Jampel , to discuss scheduling of clerkships and electives: hjampel@jhmi.edu; 410-955-6052 2. Consider the following scheduling guidelines: Clerkships in Medicine and Surgery, the General Clinical Elective in Ophthalmology, and any other clerkship or elective in a field that is a possible career choice should be scheduled as early as possible in the third year. 3. Students applying for residency in Ophthalmology should plan to do two or three electives in the field. Other electives that students going into Ophthalmology have found helpful (but not required) are the Advanced Clerkship in Internal Medicine; Subinternship in Medicine at Good Samaritan (Rheumatology or Pulmonary); Dermatology; Radiology and Infectious Disease. PATHOLOGY Electives in Pathology provide students an excellent way of broadening their knowledge of medicine and determining their level of interest in the specialty. Most pathology electives give students firsthand knowledge of the central role pathology plays in the diagnosis of disease, and as such, are valuable for students going into almost any clinical specialty. Both general and subspecialty electives in Pathology are available. Electives in anatomic pathology focus on morphologic and histologic diagnosis; those in the clinical laboratory illustrate the effective use and interpretation of laboratory testing, while others provide insight into basic pathogenesis of disease. Students who have already made a firm decision to enter postgraduate training in Pathology should contact an advisor in the department to gain assistance in planning a balanced elective program. Dr. Marc Halushka Deputy Director for Education Dr. Ralph Hruban Director Department of Pathology PEDIATRICS Elective experiences offered in the Department of Pediatrics include subspecialty consultation services, research opportunities and subinternships on a variety of services. Subspecialty electives help the student develop specific skills and knowledge and emphasize the development of an approach to patients who have been referred because of their particular problems. Subinternships, whether in the neonatal intensive care unit, on the general pediatric inpatient units, or in the Harriet Lane Clinic, offer the student an opportunity to manage a variety of patients with a higher level of independence than they experienced during the Core clerkship. A wide range of clinical and laboratory research experiences provide students with a close working relationship with faculty mentors and a chance to help define new knowledge, whether the student is an experienced researcher or a beginner. Members of the pediatric faculty are available to provide guidance and advice for students who seek further experience in pediatrics, whether he/she is certain of the career path or is in the exploration stage. Either Dr. Christopher Golden (Pediatrics Clerkship director) cgolden@jhmi.edu or Dr. Nicole Shilkofski, (Vice-Chair for Pediatric Education) 410-955-2727 would be happy to discuss elective choices.
