Course Director: Dr. Hosanna Au
Course Duration: 6 weeks

The Paediatrics course begins with a full day of orientation seminars and small group teaching sessions at SickKids. There is a second ‘day back’ for Neonatology Teaching and Exam Review near the end of the rotation. In their clinical placements, students are exposed to a combination of ambulatory and inpatient paediatrics. Students are either in a paediatric setting at a Community Hospital for 6 weeks, or at SickKids on paediatric wards or in the Emergency Department for 3 weeks and in an ambulatory Paediatric practice for 3 weeks. Learning is hands-on through patient assessment and discussion. Learning resources include the Paeds-on-the-Go Handbook, web-based e-modules on core topics on Elentra, a study guide, and practice MCQs.
