Undergraduate Medical Education (UME)

Miami Children's Hospital is the site for Third Year Core Pediatric Clerkships for Medical Students from our three Medical School Affilates: Florida International University College of Medicine (FIU), Nova Southeatern University (NSU), and St. George's University (SGU). During their Pediatric Clerkship, medical students rotate in the Emergency Department, on inpatient and outpatient services in both General Pediatric and Pediatric Subspecialty Services. The medical students' curriculum is designed with a blend of clinical experiences, didactic sessions, small group discussions, interactive, and self-directed learning. The curriculum is based on the Pediatric Curriculum designated by the Council on Medical Students in Pediatrics (COMSEP) and is meant to assist the parent institutions to meet the accrediation of the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) or the American Osteopathic Association (AOA).

 

Only third year students from our affiliated medical schools are eligible to take their core pediatric clerkship at MCH. However, MCH offers 4th year electives in various subspecialties to 4th year medical students from LCME or AOA-Accredited Medical Schools in the US and Canada based on availability. For further details on 4th year elective offerings, refer to the Fourth Year Medical Students page.
