Want to learn about pediatrics and neonatology? This is the program for you!
You’ll learn how to assess a newborn’s vital signs, explore common childhood diseases such as measles and mumps, identify neurological disorders, and examine the differences between pediatric medicine and neonatology.
This program will provide a fast-paced, hands-on glimpse into what it’s like to be a pediatrician. Students will gain insight into childhood diseases and contagion, bloodwork, and mental disorders of childhood diagnosis and treatments.
This three-week summer program is designed for teens interested in pre-med.
An elite subsection of Pediatrics? Neonatology – the specialization that deals with complex health issues related to newborns. Neonatology often includes complications with pregnancy, premature birth, or birth defects. You’ve probably heard of the NICU, or the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where premature babies gain the strength they need to go home. That’s just one part of what a Neonatologist is involved with.
Be prepared to practice tiny, baby-sized procedures with hands-on labs and studies. As doctors always say, kids aren’t just little adults. Pediatrics and Neonatology require an entirely specific skillset. If you’ve taken another one of our medical programs before, get ready for something new!
