Our medical students typically rotate through Temple Street during specialist paediatrics modules during the final or penultimate years of the degree programme.  This 6 week module is designed to build on the paediatric history taking and knowledge base from previous paediatric experience. The module intoduces students to clinical paediatrics and its underlying patholological mechanisms, the investigation and treatment of these conditions.

The paediatrics module places strong emphasis on clinical skills and understanding and hence is largely clinically based in the form of small group clinical sesions, clinical demonstrations, self-directed ward-based learning and of course traditional lectures which are consultant delivered.

The module is delivered between the two Dublin's paediatric teaching hospitals (The Children's University Hospital, Temple Steet and Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin).  In addition students spend a week on a peripheral paediatric rotation in one of our affiliated regional hospitals (Wexford, Castlebar, Portlaois or Clonmel Hospitals).
