Clinical Pediatrics is a 135 hr course that integrates pediatric theory with hands-on clinical skills. Under the instruction of Dr. Gurman Gill, students explore the assessment and management of pediatric patients through a region-by-region study of the body, paired with relevant childhood conditions and developmental considerations.
A variety of treatments are studied in great detail and through a variety of references, students decide which techniques are most suited to the different treatments. Emphasis is placed on developing treatment plans in subacute, acute, chronic, chronic 1 and chronic 2 through the disorders and treatment plans. This course covers a history and introduction to Paediatric care throughout the term, students progress from foundational introductions to the pelvis, sacrum, lumbar spine, thoracic and cervical regions, through to the head, extremities, ribs, and abdomen. Each anatomical focus is linked with clinical presentations such as growth disorders, hematologic and immune conditions, congenital anomalies, infectious diseases, metabolic disorders, malignancies, and more.
