Welcome to the Pediatrics medical student education office. The Medical Student Coordinator’s office is located at One Hospital Drive in HSL 130, which is the ground floor of the Health Sciences Lottes Library.
The M3 Pediatrics clerkship is divided into three weeks of inpatient, three weeks of outpatient and one week of academic activities. The inpatient portion consists of two weeks of wards and one week in the newborn observation unit (well newborns) which are both located in the Children’s Hospital at 1021 Hitt Street. The outpatient portion is divided into one week with a primary care pediatrician and two one-week rotations with subspecialists. The clerkship is only available to M3 students enrolled in the MU School of Medicine.
Electives
There are many M4 four-week electives available to medical students. M4s are required to take 32 weeks of electives (12 weeks of Advanced Selectives; four weeks of Advanced Biomedical Sciences electives; and 16 weeks of general electives). MU School of Medicine M4s will have first priority in choosing the electives.
Visiting Students
After M4s choose their electives, visiting students apply for electives in VSLO, with an approval process through the Office of Medical Education and the Pediatrics education division. Visiting students may contact the Office of Medical Education with questions. The department will begin screening applications in April.
