Pediatric Clerkship

Welcome to the Pediatric Clerkship! The six-week clerkship consists of various clinical experiences including inpatient team rotation at the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU (CHoR) and Chippenham Medical Center, outpatient rotation with CHoR pediatricians and community pediatricians, newborn nursery, and inpatient electives. We also offer weekly didactic sessions as well as simulation sessions and child development workshops.

Welcome from the M3 Clerkship Director

Welcome to Pediatrics! The goal of this clerkship is to teach students the knowledge, skills, and attitudes commonly encountered in pediatric medicine. We recognize that most of the M3 students will likely go into a specialty other than pediatrics. However, regardless of the field of medicine you choose, the core competencies obtained in pediatrics will help you throughout your career. Finally, students will learn important lessons in professionalism and teamwork as you continue the journey toward residency.
