This elective in pediatric pulmonary disorders will provide senior students with experience in the evaluation and management of acute and chronic respiratory disorders in infants, children, and adolescents. An effective and logical approach to asthma, cystic fibrosis, sleep disordered breathing, chronic lung disease of infancy, stridor and other diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract will be reviewed often with members of our multidisciplinary team. Common respiratory signs and symptoms will be assessed primarily in the outpatient setting. Pertinent medical literature will be reviewed and the opportunity to have sit-down one-on-one discussions with our staff will occur. Interviewing and physical examination skills will be emphasized allowing the student to participate in the formulation of diagnostic and therapeutic plans.
