This is a very easy rotation, and you will probably get out early for the day! I was done for the day at 11:30. Talking to a few other people, the latest I have heard anyone having to stay was 1pm. It says its an all day rotation and you are excused from both classes, but you will get out early for sure. When I was there, they only scheduled patients for the morning.
Its pretty similar to all of the other Pedo rotations. You will mainly do prophies and exams. You MIGHT see 2 patients, but most likely it will just be 1. There are 4 students (plus an additional 3 residents) that rotate there, and we only had 6 patients, so you do the math.
There may be the occasional operative or surgical procedure. After doing my exam, Dr. Cheon told me to extract the coronal remnants of a primary canine. So you may be asked to do more than just an exam, so be expecting that.
Thats about it. There is no sign-in sheet. The syllabus says the clinic starts at 8:30. But thats not true. They want you to arrive at 8:30. The first patient doesnt actually show up til 9am. So if you are a little late, its not a big deal. The residents and faculty didnt show up til like 8:55.
As always, shoot questions my way.
