Pediatric Care of Children with a History of Foster Care and/or Adoption

Capacity may also be available in S2; please email [email protected] to inquire. 

Catalog Description: This rotation is currently offered to residents at UMN. We wish to broaden it so that visiting students, residents, fellows and other medical students can rotate with us to learn more about care for children in foster care, those adopted domestically and internationally. It combines a lot of concepts from developmental behavioral pediatrics, psychiatry, infectious disease and general pediatrics, and we work closely with occupational therapists and psychologists in a team setting to optimize care of children with a history of prenatal exposures and adverse childhood experiences.
