Pediatric Cardiology

This course is an introduction to all aspects of congenital heart disease. Students function as externs (i.e. learners) and will work in pediatric cardiology clinic, pediatric CICU, and pediatric catheterization laboratory. Students will be actively engaged by PCAR staff with the primary goal of learning basic concepts in CHD pathophysiology, interpreting common cardiac tests (e.g. ECGS), developing thorough, age-appropriate differential diagnoses and basic treatment plans.
