The Pediatric Interest Group offers hands-on learning through pediatric physical exam sessions and skills labs, helping students build essential clinical skills for working with children. We actively engage in the community by volunteering at local schools and collaborating with SMILE at Children’s Hospital to bring treats and joy to children undergoing chemotherapy. Through educational events and outreach, we foster a deeper understanding of pediatric medicine and inspire future careers in the care and advocacy of young patients.
