Pediatrics Interest Group

The Pediatric Interest Group (PIG) strives to educate medical students about the vast field of pediatrics by promoting student exploration of pediatrics and its subspecialties, providing opportunities for career guidance, and encouraging awareness of issues pertaining to children and their families. With these goals in mind, PIG hopes to encourage and inspire medical students to pursue a career in pediatrics. PIG accomplishes these goals through: · A mentorship program that matches medical students with pediatric residents · Educational workshops related to the field of pediatrics · Opportunities for hands on experience with pediatrics in the UCLA simulation center · Numerous noon time lectures and panels to explore issues in the field of pediatrics that are relevant to medical students · Volunteer opportunities to allow students to work directly with pediatric patients and their families
