PEDS315A

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Selective 1. DESCRIPTION: This elective has a focus 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 expanded clinical experience, only available for the 4- or 6-week elective, occurs across several outpatient clinics located at different sites across the South Bay, so access to transportation, ideally with a car, is highly recommended. The 6-week elective is only available as a sub-internship (¿sub-i¿) experience, with more clinical responsibilities given as well as an assigned clinical mentor. Permission from the clerkship director must be given for the 6-week elective. PREREQUISITES: Pediatrics 300A. Visiting students are required to obtain pre-approval from the department. Please email requests to Dr. Elizabeth Stuart at aestuart@stanford.edu. PERIODS AVAILABLE: 4-8 and 12, full time for 2 weeks or 4 weeks or 6 weeks, 1 student per period (students who want to do the clerkship for 6 weeks need to contact the Associate Director of Clerkship Administration to add the third 2-week to their schedule).
