Pediatric Clerkship

The Pediatric Clerkship (PHD 641) is a required, four-week course designed to emphasize skills, knowledge, and attitudes required for general pediatrics. Students at each of the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine's seven community locations will receive inpatient, ambulatory, and community experiences coordinated on-site by their respective community clerkship directors and staff.

All course materials for all communities are available on the Michigan State University Course Management System Desire2Learn (D2L).
