Each student will have an individualized schedule consisting of didactic sessions, developmental clinics, genetics clinics, participation in an Operation Housecall home visit to conduct a structured interview with a parent of a child with special health care needs, and observation of various allied health disciplines. The student will also be required to choose a patient for a medical home case presentation to faculty and residents involved with the rotation that month. The student’s interest, attendance, participation, and mastery of material presented as evidenced by participation in discussions and in patient work-ups will be evaluated. A competency exam, medical home presentation, and Operation House Call interview must be completed as part of the rotation.
