- Pediatric Clerkship Evaluation - William Wilson, M.D.,
Pediatric Clerkship director, presented an excellent report assessing
the Pediatric Clerkship. He found the evaluation process to be an
excellent exercise and regarded this as an opportunity to inventory and
evaluate the clerkship. As he believes he now has a better handle on
the daily schedules of both local and away sites and is reassured that
the basic curriculum is equivalent at the various sites.
