Adolescent Medicine

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Selective 1. DESCRIPTION: Please note that through the 2020-2021 academic year, the rotation is only available virtually. This four-week elective has a focus on the health of adolescents and young adults. During this elective, you will rotate through an outpatient eating disorder clinic and an inpatient eating disorder unit. This is an excellent opportunity to participate in a multi-disciplinary, nationally recognized program for the care of adolescents with eating disorders. Additionally, there may be opportunities to rotate through other teen clinics. Biweekly teaching conferences by faculty supplement the curriculum. Clinics are located at several different locations, so access to transportation, ideally with a car, is highly recommended. PREREQUISITES: Pediatrics 300A. The clerkship is open to visitors from P3A-P7B only. Visiting students are required to obtain pre-approval from the department. Please email requests to Dr. Elizabeth Stuart at aestuart@stanford.edu. PERIODS AVAILABLE: 4-12, full time for 2 weeks or 4 weeks or 6 weeks, 1 student per period (students who want to do the clerkship for 6 weeks need to contact the Associate Director of Clerkship Administration to add the third 2-week to their schedule). The rotation can be offered as a 2-week rotation, but may be limited to inpatient only. CLERKSHIP DIRECTOR: Jonathan Avila, M.D. CLERKSHIP COORDINATOR: Ana Valdez-Fraser (650-736-9557).
