Welcome to the Medical Student Program in Pediatrics

Our purpose is to provide you with time saving information that every medical student will need when learning to care for children during their education at the University of Washington.

Opportunities for you to explore the field of Pediatrics span all four years of your medical education at the University of Washington. We hope that each experience will build on the next helping you determine whether caring for infants, children, and adolescents will become part of your future career.

Please provide us with feedback as we are always looking for new ideas!
