It’s already that time again – time for a new group of medical students to rotate through their Pediatrics Clerkship! As we prepare to orient them on Monday, we want to take a moment to remind you of the resources and policies in place to guide you in your teaching endeavors – these are listed below with links. Additionally, Steve, Javier, and I are always happy to answer your questions.
Thank you for all your hard work with the medical students.
Sincerely,
Margee Huntwork, MD MSEd
Tulane Pediatrics Clerkship Director

Tulane School of Medicine has overarching Institutional Objectives, and our Pediatrics Clerkship has objectives specific to pediatrics – all objectives are located in our syllabus that you can access here.
Students must log certain clinical encounters during their rotation. The list of required clinical encounters is here.
Residents or faculty are strongly encouraged to observe students taking (all or part of) a history and doing (all or part of) a physical exam. The form on which students log their observed history / physical is here.
Tulane School of Medicine has a policy on Medical Student Supervision, which you can peruse here.
If you ever need to report a student for unprofessional behavior, you can email me, or you can report here. Students are asked to abide by these Professional Attributes.
We all work hard to create a productive learning environment, and expectations regarding the learning environment can be found here.
Tulane School of Medicine has a Duty Hours Policy, which you can read here.
Tulane has a new policy on Faculty Improvement, which I will present at a future Faculty Meeting, but, for the curious, a sneak preview can be found here.
Last but not least, we ask you to fill out evaluations about the students in e-Value, and students also fill out evaluations about you in e-Value. Faculty have access to student feedback! Instructions on how to access your feedback are located here. If you have trouble, please email Javier and he will guide you.
