Children's Hospital of New York
General Information

Overview and Role Assignments

While at Children's Hospital of NY, each student will spend 2.5 weeks exclusively in the ER and 2.5 weeks based on the inpatient service. Each student has been assigned to a team that corresponds to an inpatient ward team. There will be three teams - two which focus on general pediatrics and one that focuses on oncology. In addition, each student has been given a number (1 - 7) that determines whether you start on the wards or in the ER. Find your name on the list below and follow the schedule that corresponds to that code.

Students A1 - 3 and B1 - 4 and will spend block 1 of the clerkship in the Outpatient/ED and block 2 based on the wards.
Students A4 - 6 and B4 -7 will spend block 1 based on the wards and block 2 in the Outpatient/ED.

Master Schedules:

A separate schedule for each of the groups (A1 - 3 and B1 - 4 and // A4 - 6 and B4 - 7) is attached at the end of this packet. These sheets list all conferences, lectures, and rotation-specific assignments. Depending on lecturer schedules, some of the Tuesday conferences will have different times or locations, as noted in the handouts at the end of this packet. We recommend you note these changes on your master schedule. When you finish scheduling sessions with your mentor (details in section IV), add them to your master schedule as well.

Following are details on certain schedule items:
