The Department of Pediatrics provides a solid foundation for M.D. students and postgraduate trainees. It offers extensive opportunities for general pediatrics and subspecialties.

Affiliated programs add depth to the educational program in community pediatrics and primary care. The department is affiliated with the child and material health programs of the Bureau of Family Health, Iowa Department of Public Health; the University of Iowa regional Child Health Specialty Clinics and Center for Disabilities and Development; Blank Children's Hospital in Des Moines; and community sites.

Medical Student Training

Didactic lectures and physical examination of the newborn, toddler, and older child provide M.D. students with their initial pediatric patient contact. This experience includes taking a history, performing a physical examination, appraisal of growth and development, nutrition, and symptomatology of newborns, toddlers, and adolescents.

For junior and senior medical students, the inpatient service provides training in the complex problems of disease and critical illness. Students participate in daily rounds involving general pediatrics and all subspecialties. Challenging and interesting cases are presented for discussion of diagnosis and treatment.

Outpatient experience, available in the junior clerkship and fourth-year electives, stresses principles and practices required for the maintenance of children's health, treatment of common general pediatric disorders, and the diagnosis and treatment of subspecialty ambulatory patients.

Residency Program, Fellowships

The department offers an accredited three-year residency program designed to prepare trainees for professional careers in general pediatrics or for further fellowship training. The program meets the eligibility requirements of the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP).

Fellowships are available in many pediatrics subspecialties. Fellowship programs encourage development of knowledge and skill through research and clinical orientations in the chosen discipline. Upon satisfactory completion of the program, fellows meet the ABP eligibility requirements in their subspecialty.

Facilities

The Department of Pediatrics is located in the Children's Hospital of Iowa at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, with inpatient and outpatient areas immediately adjacent to faculty offices and the pediatric library.

The pediatric inpatient service has approximately 120 beds, and more than 50,000 patients are seen each year in the general, specialty, continuity care, and field clinics and in the Emergency Treatment Center. The Center for Disabilities and Development provides resources for children with developmental disabilities, cerebral palsy, or mental retardation.

The department maintains laboratories that perform both clinical and research studies.
