General Overview

Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH) serves as the core pediatric teaching site for Harvard Medical School (HMS) students, hosting educational experiences in all phases of the curriculum (pre-clerkship, clerkship, and post-clerkship). The majority of HMS students complete their core pediatric clerkship at BCH, which is a 6-week rotation involving time with the Pediatric Hospital Medicine teams, primary care clinics, newborn nurseries at affiliated PCE sites, and selective experiences with inpatient specialty teams or the Emergency Department. Of note, this core clerkship experience is ONLY available to enrolled HMS students assigned to BCH for their clerkship.
