PEDS315A

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Selective 1. DESCRIPTION: This elective focuses on the health of adolescents and young adults. Weekly teaching conferences by faculty supplement the elective. The 2-week elective will focus exclusively on inpatient eating disorder at Stanford Children?s satellite unit at El Camino Hospital in Mountain View, CA. This is an excellent opportunity to participate in a multi-disciplinary, nationally recognized inpatient program for the care of adolescents with eating disorders. If the inpatient census is low, the student might be sent to participate in the eating disorder clinic outpatient (Sunnyvale, CA) and/or in the inpatient consult service on the main campus (Palo Alto, CA). The 4-week elective will expand the experience to include other areas of adolescent and young adult health outside of the eating disorder psychopathology. This 4-week rotation occurs across several outpatient clinics located at different sites across the South Bay, so access to transportation, ideally with a car, is highly recommended. Upon request in advance, the 4-week rotation can also available a sub-internship ("sub-i"), with an assigned clinical mentor and responsibilities and expectations similar to those of pediatric interns. This clerkship requires pre-approval for all students. Stanford students must obtain approval from the clerkship director prior to enrolling. Please contact the clerkship coordinator. Visiting students should submit a request for Departmental pre-approval, which will be routed to the clerkship staff.
