Cr Hrs: 3, 6 Session Length: 2 and 4 weeks
PD
This is a face to face clinical rotation receiving 3 or 6 credit hours. The student should function with increased autonomy in patient care and must demonstrate competency in several of the Entrustable Professional Activities required for graduation. This elective in neurodevelopmental disabilities provides an interdisciplinary clinical exposure to the detection, diagnosis, evaluation, support and community integration of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. These disabilities include autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disability, developmental language disorders, school learning and behavioral problems, cerebral palsy, and other disabilities. Under faculty supervision, students will evaluate new patients, serve as members of the team and participate in team conferences. They will be actively involved in discussing with families the diagnoses, recommendations and management issues. The student will present a short seminar to pediatric faculty and residents. Opportunities to adapt the rotation to meet the student’s particular goals are available and should be discussed with faculty. Specific focused projects will be considered.
