Pre-Clerkship Exposure
Strengthening early exposure to pediatrics by providing educators with practical resources to integrate pediatric content and pediatric educators throughout the pre-clerkship curriculum.
The Pre-Clerkship and Clinical Skills Workgroup of the AMSPDC Pediatrics Workforce Initiative Education Pillar developed these resources to help increase exposure to pediatric content and pediatric educators during the pre-clerkship phase of medical education.
Together, these complementary resources provide practical guidance for educators seeking to strengthen pediatric learning experiences and advocate for greater integration of pediatrics throughout the pre-clerkship curriculum.
