Intro course Paediatrics. Important information

Dear students!

Welcome to the Pediatrics :-), which of course is the most interesting and greatest specialty in medicine. We are of course not biased at all ;-)

We have prepared an Introduction Course for you on the 16th and 17th of August to give you a taste of pediatrics is all about! Each student is assigned to a half day course where we will go through the basic things that you are going to learn this semester. This will be a very intense half day for you! There will be 5 stations were two groups (eight students) will rotate through the stations having 20-25 min lectures (and only 5 mins breaks) on each of the following subjects:

*             How to recognize an acute sick child

*             Growth and development

*             Neurological examination in children

*             History taking and examination including ENT examination in children – what is different in children compared with adults?

*             Newborn examination

We will also have a short session with all of you at the end of the course where we will talk about the 3+1 admissions (innkomstjournaler) you will be doing this semester. You will also be able to ask questions. So it is wise to have slept well and had a good breakfast before you arrive at the Ferdighetssenter at Rikshospitalet. 

On behalf of the teachers,

Lisa Bjarkø
