Description: Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition is a clinical elective offered through Harvard Medical School (PD515M.7). Medical students from Harvard, as well as Exchange students from other Programs, are welcome to complete rotations on our Inpatient, Consult, Hepatology, and Nutrition Services.

Students will have an opportunity to participate in the management of patients admitted to our Inpatient and Hepatology Services, as well as ambulatory patients seen in a number of subspecialty clinics. The exact schedule can be tailored to the specific interests of the student. Over the course of the elective, the student will work closely with several attending physicians.
