Outpatient Clinic

This month I'm on the "Transition Medicine" rotation, which is a type of ambulatory (as opposed to inpatient) rotation. Transition medicine focuses on the transition from pediatrics to adult medicine for patients with chronic conditions such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and congenital heart defects. Many of the patients I have seen are doing quite well and benefit from the specialized care and social services that Transition medicine offers. The rotation also has an extensive didactic component. I'm a little sad that this fun rotation is almost over.
