Department Department of Pediatrics (8 Divisions)
Introduction The Department of Pediatrics is one of the top notch health care units in the country, which has been playing a key role in medical education, biomedical research, and patient care over the past decades. Newly opened children¡¯s hospital is expected to serve as the referral center for a wide variety of rare, complicated conditions in children. Faculty members have been assuming a leading role in developing a comprehensive, multidisciplinary team approach to care for children. Lectures, tutorials and bedside teaching sessions are utilized to introduce and illustrate pediatric medicine. In addition, the curriculum is a partnership between full-time faculty, inner-city and community voluntary faculty and academic resources. Throughout the two years of clinical clerkship, medical students gain comprehensive knowledge of both acute and chronic illnesses that affect the sequence of childhood growth and development. They complete a four-week clerkship rotation through inpatient and outpatient pediatric services with supplemental conferences and seminars which present contemporary patient cases at Kyungpook National University Hospital, KNU Children¡¯s Hospital and affiliated hospitals. Upperclassmen may choose electives acting as sub-interns within the general ward services or within the various pediatric subspecialties including nephrology, cardiology, hematology-oncology, neonatology, neurology, gastroenterology, medical genetics, infectious diseases, allergy, Pulmonology or endocrinology. They are encouraged to participate in continuing research projects conducted by the department.​
