Is there sufficient emphasis on primary care pediatrics?
The resident curriculum at the Children’s Hospital at Scott & White devotes 21 of 36 months to rotations in primary care pediatrics. These rotations include acute care clinics, continuity care clinic, general inpatient ward, newborn care, emergency department, child development, adolescents and community health. Nine months are allowed for subspecialty training, however the majority of the time spent on these rotations is in the outpatient setting as well.
