In the intern year, the primary focus is upon learning the
basics of pediatric management. Development of communication
skills between interns and patients, colleagues and outside
physicians is a priority. The development of solid history
and physical skills, basic therapeutic plan development and
procedures are the goals of the interns. Interns are responsible
for monthly lectures to the medical students. This is a series
of 13 repeating lectures on basic pediatric topics given
by the interns to the medical students working in the hospital
each month. USMLE Step 3 will be completed this year.
