Pediatric GI & Transplant Hepatology
Location: OB 9.642
Administrative Assistant
Location: OB 9.640
Cell: 787-644-3724, Pager: 206-993-2026
Office: 206-987-1095
Welcome to Pediatric Gastroenterology & Hepatology! We are excited to have you and hope that you enjoy your time learning about some of the most common disorders that we diagnose and manage.
Goals
Provide medical students with a complete and unified approach for the evaluation and management of patients with common gastrointestinal and liver diseases, both in the inpatient and outpatient setting.Objectives
The rotation will provide a well-rounded experience for medical students interested in pediatric gastroenterology and hepatology. During the 4-week rotation, the students will be exposed to the in inpatient and outpatient setting with both the gastrointestinal (GI) and liver and intestinal failure team (LIFT). The will also participate in several of our sub-specialty clinics including inflammatory bowel disease, motility, intestinal rehabilitation, hepatology and liver transplant, among others. They will also shadow our physicians during endoscopies and other procedures.Students are expected to:
- Develop skills to be able to perform a thorough abdominal exam, noting differences in how to approach patients of a variety of age groups.
- Demonstrate an analytic thinking approach to clinical situations. These include developing differential diagnoses for vomiting, diarrhea, bloody stools, constipation, abdominal pain, failure to thrive and jaundice, among others.
Student participation
- First day: Once you complete the required badging and sign-in with the SC Medical Student Program/GME Office, please check-in with Monica Langsted (OB 9.640) and she will take you to your assigned location for the day.
- Outpatient: The student will be assigned a preceptor to evaluate patients with during each clinic session. The preceptor will determine the level of involvement of the medical student during each session, depending on the experience of the medical student and the complexity of the patient (i.e. independently obtain history and exam vs observe preceptor).
- Clinic location: Seattle Children’s Main Campus, Ocean 8
- Inpatient: The student will spend one week in the GI service and one week in the LIFT service. The attending on service will determine the level of involvement of the medical student during each week, depending on the experience of the medical student and the complexity of the patient (i.e. independently obtain history and exam vs observe).
- Ideally, we would encourage the student to pick a patient to follow through the week and be involved directly in their case, including writing daily progress notes.
Education
Clinical teaching will be case-centered and based on the patients that are seen by the student. During the rotation, the student will be exposed to a wide variety of patients with common gastrointestinal problems such as vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, chronic abdominal pain, gastroesophageal reflux disease, feeding and nutritional problems, celiac disease, pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, gastrointestinal bleeding, acute and chronic hepatitis and jaundice, among others. Information about some of the most common diagnoses that we see can be found here.Students will learn indications, alternatives, and potential risks for common GI procedures which include upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, manometry/motility testing and liver biopsies.
Students will be able to spend time with dietitians if dietary intervention is an essential part of the patient’s management.
Helpful GI-related articles can be found here.

PEDS 615 Child Abuse
Welcome to child abuse pediatrics and the Safe Child and Adolescent Network (SCAN)! We look forward to meeting you and hope that you enjoy your time with the SCAN team.
Objectives
- To learn the signs and symptoms of child maltreatment and understand the medical evaluation and differential diagnosis of physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and medical child abuse.
- To recognize the role of a multidisciplinary team in the assessment of child maltreatment, including medical professionals, CPS, law enforcement, and the courts.
- To understand the physician’s legal responsibilities as a mandated reporter.
- To recognize issues of bias and disproportionality in child protection and identify strategies to mitigate them.
Schedule
After badging/sign-in, students can report to their elective based on the calendar which will be developed for them by the team. In general, the day will run from 9:00 to 4:30, Monday through Friday. There are no weekend or after-hours responsibilities. Options for self-directed and/or remote learning can be provided if needed. The student will also be scheduled to join the team at the Harborview Abuse and Trauma Center (HATC) depending on clinical volume.Education
Teaching will be a combination of clinical/case-based learnings, didactic sessions, multidisciplinary meetings, weekly radiology conference, readings, and informal “chalk talks.” Students will spend time with fellows, attendings, nurses, and social workers to gain an appreciation for the multidisciplinary approach to child maltreatment. When possible, students will have the opportunity to observe court testimony. Supplemental readings are available on the SCAN Team Sharepoint on CHILD.Expectations and Self-Care
In the final week of the rotation, students will be required to give a short presentation or journal club on a topic of interest, which will be determined within the first week of the rotation. We also recognize that child maltreatment is a sensitive subject, and we will not require learners to participate in any clinical scenarios that they find triggering.Network and EMR Access at SC, Remote Access Info and WiFi at SC

PEDS 625 Emergency Medicine
A Note from the Division of Emergency Medicine at Seattle Children’s
We are pleased you have signed up to do a Pediatric Emergency Medicine Advanced Patient Clerkship. During this rotation we expect 4th year students to strive to function at the level of an intern. This means that you will have ED shifts scheduled similar to our interns (days, evenings, and weekends).
To prepare for your elective, please find a pediatric ER textbook of your choice to reference for the month. Some popular textbooks are by Barkin, Strange and Fleisher & Ludwig. Topics that you should familiarize yourself with prior to the rotation include pediatric abdominal pain, bronchiolitis and asthma, pediatric fractures and neonatal fevers. As the month progresses, I encourage you to read further about different topics that you encounter during your shifts.
Tamar Anderson in the ED offices will be in charge of setting your schedule.
Before your first shift, please contact me via email so that we can review expectations for your elective. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
W. Ben Prince, MD

When you are not seeing your own patients, we invite you to follow us in clinic to see interesting exam findings, and to take time to read about rheumatology. In addition, we encourage you to participate in radiology rounds, joint injections, and conferences as outlined below.

Second and fourth Monday of each month, 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.: Joint Injection Clinic
Joint injections in OPC with inpatient fellow and attending. This is a great learning experience that allows you to inject joints on patients who are under anesthesia. These generally begin at 1 p.m., so page the inpatient rheumatology fellow or attending and they will show you where to go.Teaching
- MWF 8:30 to 9:00 a.m.: Pediatric Morning Report
- Thurs 8:00 to 9:00 a.m.: Pediatric Grand Rounds/rheumatology lectures
- M-F 9:30 to 10:00 a.m.: Teaching during rheumatology rounds. If there are no inpatients, the attending or fellow will teach during this time. If we have inpatients, teaching will be done as time allows.
Additional Formal Teaching
Please check with the on service rheumatology fellow and attending during rounds each day to determine when they will be available for teaching later in the day or later in the week. In rheumatology, we do our usual outpatient clinics even when on inpatient service, so available times vary for each attending. But we all love to teach, so please ask us!Medical Student Presentation
On the final Thursday of your rotation, we will have you give a brief (15-minute) presentation to the rheumatology team. This will be about a topic of interest developed during the rotation. Please talk to the fellows and attendings early in the rotation to help get you started and refine your topic to a manageable scope.We hope you enjoy your time in rheumatology. We want this to be a fun rotation with plenty of learning opportunities.

AMS Connect & pager numbers in CORES
AMS Connect is the paging system teams use at SC, instead of carrying physical pagers. You should have received an email from SC Voice Operations with information about setting up your AMS Connect account using an app on your smart phone. If you didn’t receive/can’t find the email, email voiceoperations@seattlechildrens.org requesting an activation e-mail and your pager number. Your AMS Connect number is the same as your pager number. There’s more info about using the app here (note that you have to be logged into the SC network or at SC to access this page on the hospital intranet). Your team is already using AMS Connect and can likely help you get things started on your phone.
You can assign that pager number to yourself in CORES. Here’s how:
- Click on CORES tab to view the team list
- Click on the “+ More” tab, located next to the button “View Patient List” on the CORES screen
- Select “My Preferences” from the drop-down menu
- Enter pager number starting with the area code and omitting any spaces or dashes
- Choose paging service from drop-down menu, which should be listed on the back of the pager
- Check the box to enable text paging
- Click on the tab “Save Changes”
- Wait for the confirmation code to be sent to your pager
- Enter the code on provided line and click verify
- You’re done!
