CLE 752

Credit: 4 hours.

The goals of the Pediatric Pulmonology & Pediatric Sleep Medicine elective rotation are to delve into common pediatric pulmonary and sleep diagnoses (asthma, cystic fibrosis, insomnia, snoring) and become familiar with less common conditions. Students will learn to further develop the differential diagnosis and use it to generate a plan of care. In addition, pharmacology, physiology, radiographic imaging, pulmonary function testing, and polysomnography will be discussed as they relate to the various pulmonary and sleep diagnoses.

4 professional hours. Approved for S/U grading only. May be repeated in separate terms up to a maximum 8 hours. Prerequisite: Restricted to students enrolled in Phase 2 or 3 or the Carle Illinois Curriculum.
